If you like to experience your historic towns in the close company of modernity and comfort, the Sofitel might well be the place for you. The chain's often bland house style is mitigated in this instance by its having been designed to fit at least partly into its venerable surroundings, and that it sits atop medieval cellars and foundations. Add to this an ideal location just across the road from the Town Hall, within easy distance of the city's premier tourist attractions. The hotel is otherwise bright and modern and the rooms have most of the level of style and comforts expected by a demanding international clientele. Belgian specialties and international dishes are served in the Van Artevelde Brasserie, and outside on the patio in good weather; drinks are served in the cellar bar. A cluster of 45 new rooms opened in late 2004.
Facilities:
Restaurant (Belgian/international); bar; health club; concierge; 24-hr. room service; babysitting; laundry service; same-day dry cleaning; nonsmoking rooms; executive rooms
