Sanglier, Five-star hotel in Durbuy, Belgium
Sanglier is a five-star hotel in the old part of Durbuy, a small town in the Belgian Ardennes. The building has been recently renovated and holds rooms, four restaurants, a wellness center with a spa, sauna, steam room, and jacuzzi, plus a garden and terrace.
The hotel takes its name from the wild boar (sanglier in French), an animal long associated with hunting traditions in the Ardennes forests. After a full renovation in recent years, the property kept its character as a family-run hotel while updating its facilities.
Chef Wout Bru, who holds a Michelin star, runs the hotel's restaurants and shapes the dining identity of the place. On Sunday mornings in summer, the hotel hosts brunches that bring together guests and people from the area.
The hotel sits in the heart of Durbuy's old town and is easy to reach on foot from the main streets and the Ourthe riverbank. Parking is available on site, and the staff speaks English, French, Dutch, and German, which makes communication easy for most visitors.
The hotel's jacuzzi is enclosed in glass and offers a view over the Ardennes landscape while you soak, which is unusual for Belgian spa hotels. The property also lends bicycles to guests, so it is possible to explore the countryside around Durbuy without booking a tour.
