Le Sanglier des Ardennes
Contemporary luxury in a medieval setting. Rooms blend warm materials with modern furniture. The restaurant scene is the real draw — ranging from a Michelin-starred fine dining room decorated with Dadaist art, to a global sharing-plates brasserie. Artsy, food-focused, grown-up.
Wellness access is NOT included in room rates — book separately by calling +32 86 21 91 58. The spa is popular, so book in advance.
Why It Matters
One of very few luxury hotels in rural Wallonia, and the dining offer is exceptional for a town this size. Le Grand Verre holds a Michelin star under chef Wout Bru, and the wine program — led by director Daan de Marteleire — is serious. The hotel also houses an extraordinary art collection ('The Hands of Art') featuring drawings by artists including Chagall, Calder, Man Ray, and Miró.
Le Sanglier des Ardennes is a 5-star hotel sitting in the centre of Durbuy — a medieval Belgian town that bills itself as the world's smallest city. The whole main building was overhauled in 2018, and the result is a genuinely stylish luxury property that mixes historical architecture with contemporary design. There are four restaurants (one Michelin-starred), a spa on the second floor with an outdoor jacuzzi, and a wine cellar where sommeliers run tastings on weekends. It's about 1h15 from Brussels.
Where You'll Stay
6 room types available
Deluxe Room
The entry-level room at 22m² — compact but comfortable. Located across both wings of the hotel. Contemporary warm decor with shower (no bathtub). Available as double or twin beds. Some rooms are accessible for reduced mobility guests on request.
Double or Twin · 22 sqm
Executive Suite
The mid-tier suite option, positioned between the Junior Suite (36m²) and the Luxury Wellness Suite (90m²). Full details on this category were not listed on the official site at time of research.
Junior Suite
At 36m², the Junior Suite adds a sofa bed to the double — making it the family-friendly option. Bright and contemporary. Equipped with both shower and bathtub, which is a step up from the standard rooms.
Double + Sofa Bed · 36 sqm
Luxury Wellness Suite
The showpiece room at 90m². Has its own private jacuzzi, steam room, sauna, massage table, and a private terrace — all inside the suite. Realistically, the best value if wellness access matters to you, since you get spa-like facilities in-room. Available as a double or with separate beds.
Double or Separate · 90 sqmPremium Room
Listed in the main building of the hotel. Part of the 2018 renovation. Full details on sizing and configuration sit between the Superior and Junior Suite tiers.

Larger than the Deluxe at 32m², situated in the new wing of the hotel. Extra space translates to a seating area and a more contemporary feel. Good choice for a weekend where you'll actually spend time in the room.
