Thermae Palace ****
Oostende •
A four-star hotel with the look and feel of an Art Deco ocean liner, set directly on Ostend beach with a brasserie, a private sauna and the North Sea as its constant backdrop.
- Brasserie Albert, right on the promenade, serves Belgian classics and seafood with panoramic sea views and direct access to the waterfront.
- A private sauna and fitness room offer the perfect way to alternate long walks along the seafront with moments of recovery facing the waves.
- Opened in 1933, this Art Deco giant has welcomed Maria Callas and Édith Piaf, and was featured in the filming of Harry Kümel’s Les Lèvres rouges (Daughters of Darkness).
