About the Hotel
Hôtel Le Relais occupies a central position on the Place du Monument, the main square of Spa, where the town's long history as Europe's premier thermal resort plays out in the architecture and pace of daily life. The hotel's restaurant and terrace open directly onto the square, and a buffet breakfast is served on-site each morning.
The location puts guests within easy walking distance of every major attraction: the Pouhon Pierre-le-Grand chalybeate spring — where Peter the Great drank the iron waters in 1717 — sits a few paces away, as does the Casino de Spa, founded in 1763 and the oldest casino in continuous operation in Europe. The Thermes de Spa thermal baths, Lake Warfaaz and the Annexe ferrugineuse spring are also close by. The forested hills around Spa are threaded with walking trails, including the Pierre de Coubertin paths, and the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps — host of the Belgian Grand Prix Formula 1 race — lies a short drive away through the Ardennes.
