Facilities

Hasselt is a pretty city to visit. You can visit the fashion - and jenever museum but wandering through the streets is just as nice. Hasselt has a modern feeling and the hotel is right in the centre. Though the rooms are modern and well appointed, the breakfast as expected (for this kind of hotel), the highlight is for sure the Sky lounge (bar). With panoramic views you can sip a cocktail (or a water; no bad comments) in a very urban, relaxing atmosphere. It’s probably the hippest spot in town. The swimming pool feels a little like ‘we had to have one’ but you can’t go wrong by choosing this hotel. Well worth a detour if you visit the beautiful Haspengouw region.
