La Butte aux Bois

This is a top secret preview of a brand new Small Luxury Hotels of the World property, for your eyes only. Fear not – this hotel will be bookable shortly!

A Belgian forest sanctuary that blends nature with luxury

Blurring boundaries between indoor and outdoor, wellness and indulgence – La Butte aux Bois is a forest-fringed retreat in the rural idyll of Lanaken. Here, National Park Hoge Kempen is the atmospheric setting for relaxation, spa time, and fine dining. While the Domaine itself – comprising a manor house, villas and epic spa – is far more than a hotel. It’s an invitation to slow down and enjoy the finer things in life.

Whether you choose a sumptuous room in the manor, secluded villa or ultra-modern forest room with tree-filled views you’ll feel completely cossetted. Cloud-like beds, glass bathrooms, and slick, contemporary design elevate your experience. Jewel Suite Missoni, designed in collaboration with the eponymous Italian designer plays with patterns, colours and texture. The Gert Voorjans Suite mirrors the sumptuous gardens outside with an equally rich interior. While dreamers should make straight for the Moonlight Suite, where you can watch the celestial sky projected onto the 9-metre-high ceiling from your bed.
