Historic Hotel: between tradition and modernity
In 1912, the magnificent Grand Hotel Belle Vue was designed by the architect Alexis Dumont based on a triangular floor plan, whose corners were completed with towers. The glamorous and stylish appearance of the Belle Époque-style hotel has survived to this day. One of the most famous guests was Albert Einstein, who spent three months in Belgium in 1933, when he enjoyed the nice views of the city de Haan from the terrace of the Grand Hotel Belle Vue. After the hotel had been in the ownership of same family for decades, who made the hotel famous along the Belgian coast for its professional service and hospitality, since 2006 the stylishly renovated Grand Hotel Belle Vue has been under the leadership of the family de Groote.
