Hotel Polaris, opened on 18 July 2009, is a charming and stylish design hotel in the heart of Ostend. It is housed in a mansion built in 1902 and has since 2005 been protected as a monument. The eclectic style façade still reflects the charm of yesteryear. The interior has been entirely redecorated using mainly black and white colours. The reflection of this warm and pleasant atmosphere can be experienced in the rooms. This is a non-smoking hotel with 18 rooms spread over 3 floors, which guarantees an intimate and quiet atmosphere. The modern rooms are functional and offer views either over the Groentemarkt or peace and quiet at the back. If you really want to experience the good life, we suggest you opt for a deluxe room with bubble bath. Hotel Polaris is especially recommended for couples who wish to spend a peaceful holiday in an intimate atmosphere and for gourmets who know how to appreciate a delicious cuisine. Here you can fully relax and enjoy life at the most.

LOCATION A relaxing walk on the beach just 300 meters from the hotel or right around the corner at the Wapenplein to the various shopping-walking streets, bars and restaurants. The Casino Kursaal and the Leopold park as well as the cultural center "De Grote Post" are a 300-meter walk from the hotel. On the other hand, the Ostend train station is 900 meters away to travel to another destination. As you can read, you will always have some form of entertainment at hand.

The story of Hotel Du Parc is infused with the presence of inspiring writers and notable guests, including Albert Einstein, James Ensor and the legendary musician Arno. Their presence has imbued the rooms with a unique ambiance.

Today, after a thorough restoration in 2023, Hotel Du Parc shines with renewed splendour. It carefully preserves the beautiful Art Deco elements and welcomes a new pioneer: Shannah Zeebroek, our passionate sommelier and hostess. Her passion for quality, creativity and hospitality forms the heart of the renewed experience.
