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. Our restaurant `De Gulden Sporen` organises regulary gastronomic festivals in co-operation with Michelin Star rated restaurants. Our restaurant `De Gulden Sporen` organizes regularly gastronomic festivals in co-operation with Michelin Star rated restaurants. 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.
