Booking.com comfirms Limburg’s warmth: a top destination for HOSPITALITY
Two Limburg locations ranked among Belgium’s most hospitable by Booking.com
This prestigious ranking highlights the hospitality and charm of places that stand out for their warm reception, excellent service, and overall guest satisfaction. Two municipalities in Limburg, Lanaken and Hasselt, have earned spots in the top ten, underscoring the province’s reputation for being a hospitable region for both locals and internationals alike.
- Lanaken’s impressive ranking is likely driven by the presence of “La Butte aux Bois”, a luxurious five-star hotel offering a Michelin-starred restaurant, a state-of-the-art wellness center, and a peaceful, natural setting.
- Hasselt, the provincial capital, also stands out for its welcoming atmosphere and vibrant hospitality scene, making it a perfect destination for visitors seeking both comfort and local charm.
What makes this achievement even more significant is that it aligns perfectly with Expat Centre Limburg’s “experience map” designed at the beginning of last year. Our mission is to ensure that the internationals in our community—whether they are expats, students, or their accompanying family members—can enjoy a high-quality, enriching experience while living in Limburg. We prioritize the well-being of internationals, ensuring that they, and their families, feel welcomed and cared for during their stay. By fostering a sense of community and connection, we strive to create a place where everyone feels “at home.”
The full list of Belgium’s top ten most hospitable municipalities, according to Booking.com, includes:
- Ieper (West-Flanders)
- Rochefort (Namur)
- Mechelen (Antwerp)
- Theux (Liège)
- Aywaille (Liège)
- Brugge (West-Flanders)
