You have been working on it for almost a year now. How were the first reactions? Full of praise, also when it comes to La Bru’sserie, for which our plans are developed the furthest. Le Sanglier des Ardennes was, of course, an institution. There is no Fleming from the middle-high and higher class who has never been there in his childhood with parents or grandparents and of course, they keep coming back. People are happy it is being modernized, albeit with respect for the traditions built up by the previous owners.
Where are you currently with the renovation plans? We have been closed for a while in January, February and March. In that period, we renovated the spa and doubled in size. All rooms were given a new look and also the bar and the entrance hall were revamped. The reception is now across the street. What is also very nice is the cigar corner that was completely renewed, just like the wine cellar. In the future, the hotel ‘Jean de Bohême’ across the street will be refreshed as well.
