Hotel Cocoon

Ostend

Hotel Cocoon is located at no more than 50 metres from the sea and has a central location in the busy city centre of Ostend. In short, the ideal location for planning a visit to museums, taking beach walks or having a shopping day. Please find some tips as inspiration for your stay at the "the seaside resort par excellence".

The beach and seafront promenade

Enjoy the stunning sunsets, sunbathe on the beach in fine weather or cycle on a go-cart along the promenade. The beach and the sea offer something for everyone.

Shopping

Combine a visit to the sea with a shopping afternoon. Work your way through the shopping streets in the city, or visit the shopping center. Most stores also open their doors on Sundays, so you can shop to your heart's desire.

Church of St Peter and St Paul

This neo-gothic church in the centre of Ostend replaced the Church of St Peter that was destroyed by fire in 1896 leaving only the nearby brick tower (known as the Peperbusse – Pepper mill).

The new church was a prestige project of King Leopold II, who was so enthusiastic that many suspected he was responsible for the fire of the original church. Architect Louis Delacenserie from Bruges was inspired by the ‘ideal building plan’ such as that of the Cologne Cathedral and Votive Church in Vienna.
