Description
The hotel de Bocholtz is a former private mansion of the sixteenth century located in Belgium in Liège, at no 8-10 of the Place Saint-Michel. This hotel is one of the rare witnesses of the Meuse Renaissance style in Liège with the Curtius Palace and the neighbouring hotel Desoër de Solières.
History
Bocholtz Hotel was named after Arnold de Bocholtz, a great schoolmaster of Saint-Lambert, who bought in 1543, and transformed from 1561 to 1563, two old canon houses, located at the Publémont, into a beautiful Renaissance-style hotel. Practically in ruins, the 1,300 m2 building was bought in the late 1960s by the Paribas group, which had it renovated by the architect Nicolas Leclerc. The works lasted 10 years, and then the hotel became a seat of the bank Belfius.
The hotel was bought in 2013 by François Fornieri, boss of the pharmaceutical company Mithra, for the sum of 1.4 million Euros. The new owner wants to turn the hotel into a private international businessmen club.
