Wellness: Relax Around Brussels

Thermae Boetfort: “You would not believe the work we had to do to get a 400-year-old castle into shape as a wellness centre, but it was worth every effort,” says Tine proudly.

And that’s just where Thermae Boetfort is located – it’s a historical wellness centre in a 400-year-old castle estate.

As with Grimbergen, the options are there for you to enjoy yourself for a few hours or several days, and combine public saunas with a beneficial massage. Boetfort also offers Classic, Superior and Deluxe rooms, with Classic to be found in a new building, while the Superior and Deluxe are within the castle walls in the original outbuildings.

“All our rooms were fully restored with respect for their history; here, you can imagine yourself as the mistress or master of the manor!” laughs Tine. “You can even go and perspire in the castle’s old ice-house!

“Of course all our rooms avail of the necessary, modern facilities to guarantee you a dream stay and both business clients and leisure guests are welcome. What we wanted to achieve was a locale that was as far removed from industry, or factories or retail environments as possible, and I think that is exactly what we have achieved here!”
