"The upscale seaside Knokke-Heist suburb of Zoute is home not only to some spectacular beachfront land but to a very unusual hotel as well: constructed in what’s locally referred to as the “Anglo-Normandic” style, the Hotel Britannia is like an English country house with a sunny seaside vibe and a degree of welcoming warmth that’s off the charts. The interiors are contemporary, though historically informed, and the comforts are first-rate, from the humblest single room to the grandest suite. Breakfast is served on site, and the library, lounge, and terrace are all fine places for a drink; the beach is a short walk away." - Tablet Hotels
