Luxury Hotels in La Louviere

For a different side of Belgium, consider La Louvière. This city in Hainaut is defined by its industrial heritage and surprising artistic treasures. The main draw is the UNESCO-listed Canal du Centre, where four remarkable hydraulic boat lifts from the late 19th century still operate. Art lovers head to the Centre de la Gravure et de l'Image imprimée, a national museum dedicated to contemporary printmaking, while the Strépy-Thieu boat lift, the tallest in the world, is a modern engineering marvel you can visit.

La Louvière is ideal for curious travelers and couples looking for an off-the-beaten-path destination, with enough history to engage families for a day or two. The city centre around Place Maugrétout offers the most convenience for shops and cafes. It’s well-connected by train on the Charleroi to Mons line, and the R5 ring road makes exploring the wider Borinage region by car straightforward.

Accommodation here is practical and good value, dominated by reliable chain hotels and a few independent options. On HOTEVI, you’ll find choices like the functional Ibis La Louvière Centre, the comfortable Best Western Plus Hotel La Louvière, the straightforward Hotel Horizon, and the budget-friendly B&B Hotel La Louvière.
