History and setting
Hassonville was once the seat of a feudal court, first linked to Hubert de Waha in 1356. According to the hotel's own account, Louis XIV ordered a hunting pavilion built here in the late 17th century. The Rodrigues-Van Eyck family bought the château in 1986 and opened a hotel and restaurant with 13 rooms. The annexes were restored to add 7 more, and a connecting hall with a new reception was built, with works completed in early 1999. The grounds cover 55 hectares today.
Getting there
The château is on Route d'Hassonville in Marche-en-Famenne, in the Belgian province of Luxembourg. The official pages consulted give no train or airport details, so ask the hotel for directions when you book.
