More is on the docket: Sestig is currently fine-tuning the hotel’s spa, wellness areas, and a floating pontoon on the lake, kitted out with shaded loungers and its very own bar. Sculptural wall art, meanwhile, takes cues from shoreline sand formations and site-specific land art by Belgian sculptor Panamarenko. The intervention starts in the double-height lobby and into the newly opened La Rigue at La Réserve, Michelin-starred chef Peter Goossens’ seaside-inspired restaurant, where guests enjoy steak tartare, vol-au-vent, and salads with freshly peeled North Sea shrimps on classic Jean-Michel Frank and Christian Liaigre furnishings under a feature ceiling inspired by the region’s thatched roofs. Now, the Belgian seaside staple’s public areas have undergone a meticulous makeover combining homegrown architect Glenn Sestig’s signature minimalism and deft use of materials like wood, stone, and brass that exude sophistication and warmth. Situated between the picturesque Silver Lake and the popular Albertstrand beach in Knokke, the tony La Réserve has endured as a sought-after hospitality destination since the mid-20th century among Hollywood A-listers and influential politicians alike.
