This hotel has recently been awarded the prestigious Michelin Key — the new international distinction for hotels that excel in hospitality, service, and guest experience, comparable to Michelin Stars for restaurants.
La Butte aux Bois, aptly named “the hill in the woods,” offers a luxurious escape that awakens all the senses. This five-star hotel stands out with its ultra-luxurious rooms, an outstanding newly reopened restaurant, and an eco-chic spa & wellness resort. Enjoy refined hospitality and exceptional service, long praised for their cosmopolitan flair. Expect nothing less than an experience that exceeds every expectation.
Located in Lanaken, near Maastricht, La Butte aux Bois is housed in a stunning 1924 manor, surrounded by expansive forests and gardens at the gateway to Hoge Kempen National Park. The hotel offers beautifully appointed rooms and suites, some featuring Hästens beds for a sublime night’s rest.
Food lovers can indulge in the newly reopened fine-dining restaurant La Source, which has been under the direction of Chef Ralph Hermans since July – formerly of the Michelin-starred Rantrée in Maastricht. With his arrival, La Source embarks on a new culinary chapter, where refinement, seasonal ingredients, and creativity take center stage.
Although the restaurant currently does not yet hold a Michelin star, the dining experience is of an exceptional level, focused on accessible haute cuisine in an elegant setting. For a more relaxed experience, Bistrôt Le Ciel (MICHELIN gids) offers delightful Franco-Belgian dishes with an international twist, crafted by Chef Pieter Beurskens.
In addition to outstanding cuisine, the hotel also features a state-of-the-art spa and wellness center with a swimming pool, sauna, and hot tub. Guests can indulge in a luxurious facial or massage treatment.
La Butte aux Bois is an idyllic destination for romantic getaways, gourmet retreats, and luxurious weekend escapes. Surrounded by beautiful natural landscapes and close to cultural hotspots like Maastricht and the Limburg region, this five-star gem guarantees a unique and memorable stay for anyone seeking relaxation, culinary excellence, and refined elegance.
