Grand Damier Hotel Kortrijk travel guide

This unique 'boutique' hotel was built around an inner garden, in accordance with the tradition of the `grand hotels`. Hotel Damier, a business hotel, is anything but cold-hearted or strict. The elegant façade, the strategic location in the Grand'Place and the plush furnishings testify to a profound cultural identity. If you stay at the Damier, you'll sense the spirit of Flanders and wallow in the opulence of its cultural heritage.

Situated in the heart of the city center & C.B.D., on the famous marketsquare offering delightful dining, entertainment, major shopping, banks & a great buzzing night life. It lies only 8 minutes from the Exhibition Center ('XPO Kortrijk'), 18 minutes from Lille (North of France). Just a half hour drive from Bruges & one hour from Brussels & International Airport. The railway station is just 2 minutes walk from the hotel. The oldest document which contains a reference to the `Hotel Damier` dates from 1398. It says there that `The Scaek` is a hostelry, where travelers are given board and lodging. `The Scaek` is the Old Dutch name for the present-day French equivalent `Damier`. The name of the establishment has changed repeatedly down the years, in accordance with local history and the linguistic system. From the seventeenth century onwards we come across the name `The Daemberd` and, for the first time in 1795 (the so-called French period) the name `Hotel Damier`. The façade has remained unchanged since the day it was built in 1769. With a magnificent rococo façade, the building is one of the finest architectural assets of the city of Kortrijk.
