Palace of the north

Thermae Palace Hotel in Oostende, Belgium, is a very welcome effort to bring to life one of the most beautiful buildings in that region. At this stage, it is work in progress, which will unfortunately influence my posting.

The rooms are fantastic (the attached photo is taken from my room), the brasserie is great, and the numerous staff members are generally friendly.

But the building needs a lot of further work and, in fact, no spa is available, let alone a swimming pool.

Three stars.

PS. This blog will return from a summer break in late August.
