History

Our hotel is situated in a building that used to be a part of the ‘ Prinsenhof ’ (Court of Princes), the residence of the dukes of Burgundy dating the second half of the 14th century.

It was the explicit wish of Duke Philips the Good, founder of the Order of the Golden Fleece, to have a personal home where he could stay and rest without being disturbed.

The duke bought the adjacent “ Hotel Vert ”and assigned a master carpenter to turn this house into a small palace. The result of this is that you will be able to admire beamed ceilings adorned with etches and in the former staircase tower are now some of the bathrooms.

When the duke’s son Charles the Bold (Karel de Stoute), count of Charolais, married Margaret of York in 1468 this house became the home of the newly wed couple and was known as “ Hotel Charolais “.

After the death of Charles the Bold and later his daughter Mary of Burgundy, the Prinsenhof lost its interest ,bit by bit it was sold and broken down - except the former private palace of the Duke . So this stately mansion of ‘Carolus, Duxus, Burgu’ still remains a dwelling of great historic value and fulfills its predestination as a hotel on a quiet location, where we will make you feel at home.
