A manor house, woodland and carefully shaped gardens form the setting of La Butte aux Bois beside Hoge Kempen National Park. Historic public rooms are joined by more contemporary accommodation, including suites with restrained palettes and distinctive design details. The Shiseido spa contains a large indoor pool, saunas and treatment spaces that look onto the surrounding greenery. Dining ranges from the relaxed bistro to the hotel’s two-Michelin-starred restaurant, where the landscape and regional produce inform the menu. Lanaken and Maastricht are both nearby, while paths through heathland and forest begin beyond the estate’s mature trees and lawns.
