HOTEL HERITAGE – RELAIS & CHÂTEAUX
History & Story
Once built as a private mansion in 1869 designed by Louis Delasencerie and later in the hands of bankers, this magnificent 19th century classical building has been renovated and converted into the Relais & Châteaux Hotel Heritage by Johan & Isabelle. The earliest written mention of the house that was found, dates back to 1390.
Isabelle, originally a German English teacher, worked for American Airlines and Johan was a project manager, assisting his father, an architect himself. In 1993, they found the building and immediately fell in love with this magnificent house. Throughout the years, Hotel Heritage won several awards and became a leading Relais & Chateaux member.
