About Hotel Blanckthys
Hotel Blanckthys is a cozy and characterful hotel in the heart of 's-Gravenvoeren.
Located between the Limburg hills and close to the Dutch border, this is the ideal place for a relaxing getaway or an active hiking weekend in nature.

With 28 comfortable rooms, a brasserie with a large terrace, and rooms for parties and meetings, we focus on a warm atmosphere, no-nonsense hospitality, and an honest kitchen.

Blanckthys is part of the growing hotel group ECLECT. Several hotels are already active, including the beautiful Landgoed Altenbroek in Belgium and Hotel KINT in the Netherlands. Expansion within and outside the Netherlands is imminent with, among others, the opening of Kasteel Doenrade and Hotel Vrythof in the near future.
