HospitalityTech further strengthens its Benelux market position with opening
in Belgium

limehome, the technology-based provider and operator of fully digitised design flats in Europe, is opening its first location in Kortrijk, located in the West Flanders region of Belgium.

The company offers fully equipped suites that can be booked online, allowing full flexibility at the rate of a standard hotel room. Last year, the fast-growing scale-up received €45 million in VC funding.

limehome is now starting its market expansion in Belgium with a planned opening in the city of Kortrijk. Benelux is of great importance for the expansion strategy. Eindhoven, The Hague and Amsterdam are already in limehome's portfolio.

The historic mansion is within walking distance of Kortrijk Beguinage, part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site. Restoration and renovation of the property will start in summer 2023.

The project comprises 20 rooms on four floors, with flats ranging from 30 mÇ to 90 mÇ. It is scheduled to open in the fourth quarter of 2024.

The design of the Scandinavian-style suites will match the protected interior of the mansion. The rooms offer high-quality box-spring beds and fully equipped kitchens.

Limehome's partner in this project is Alphastone, an innovative Brussels-based investment and development company with a specific focus on sustainable and new real estate models. Alphastone recently obtained the permit from the city of Kortrijk to convert the entire property into a hotel.

"Kortrijk has convinced us not only by its architectural richness, but also as a partner of the Lille-Kortrijk-Tournai Eurometropolis, an important economic, scientific and educational as well as cultural centre, located at the crossroads of Belgium and France. This is ideal for launching our further expansion in Western Europe. Together with our previous openings in Eindhoven, Amsterdam and The Hague, we are strengthening our Benelux portfolio in one of Western Europe's most exciting regions," says Ricky Bichel, Head of International Expansion.

"Alphastone is proud to contribute to the sustainable repurposing of this piece of heritage, especially thanks to the collaboration with operator limehome who shares our vision of digitisation and innovation," added Valéry De Vos, Head of Development at Alphastone.
