The Bar/Lounge at Hotel de Orangerie

"Sitting in front of a roaring fire in the wonderful, cosy bar-lounge feels like you're in your own castle"

"This delightful hotel in a 15th-century building has a gorgeous panelled breakfast room and lounge with a terrace overlooking the Den Dijver canal"

"Interiors could hardly be more lavish and, while the ornate wood furnishings and patterned wallpaper may be too chintzy for some, the aesthetic is particularly impressive in the hotel's grand lounge"

"There are two formal lounges, each with a warm patina, a fireplace and layers of art and antiques worthy of a museum gallery"

"While the bar is in essence a simple living room with a fireplace, it oozes stately home elegance—a phrase that accounts for much of the interior"
