THE REAL JOURNEY BEGINS WHEN YOU TAKE THE TIME

Villa Balat

Built in 1906 and attributed to Alphonse Balat, Victor Horta’s mentor, this one-of-a-kind building stands proudly on the banks of the Meuse, facing the citadel, which, in Vauban’s time, was among the most powerful fortifications in the Spanish Netherlands.

Located across from the Walloon Parliament and just a stone’s throw from the Elysette, the seat of government, it is situated in the heart of a neighborhood steeped in history.

Three guest rooms, as beautiful as they are welcoming, invite you on an enchanting journey where the past and present blend harmoniously.
