The hotel and its restaurant « Best Western L'AUBERGE et sa RESIDENCE » is situated right in the heart of the thermal bath town of Spa, close to the casino, and only 10 minutes away from the famous Spa-Francorchamps F1 track.
Spa is a wonderful little town where, with a little imagination, you can picture the ladies in crinolines and the gentlemen in great costume parading around and ‘taking the waters’. The centre of town has maintained much of its original flavour and the Auberge is a beautiful example of the style and grandeur one could enjoy at the turn of the previous century!
With its 31 rooms and suites, l’Auberge is definitely a comfortable port to return to at the end of an interesting day of activities in and around Spa. For those looking to work, a seminar room is available for small meetings. The gastronomic restaurant is open daily and will introduce you to the delights of the true local cuisine.
L’Auberge is the perfect departure point for excursions and activities in and around Spa, an address to remember!
