Homey Kortrijk

Homey, stay and come together in an authentic mansion in the heart of Kortrijk.

Spacious guest studios with the comfort and privacy of a holiday home, the services of a hotel and the cosiness & homeliness of an authentic B & B.

Homey Kortrijk is located in an authentic mansion (dating from before 1850) in the heart of the center city of Kortrijk, West Flanders. Just next to the renewed and lowered Leieboorden, the Broel Towers and the historic city center, the train station, the shopping area, the future new subtropic swimming paradise and the Grote Markt, each time less than 5 minutes walk. (Public) parking can be found cheap and close within a few minutes walking.

3 guest studios

3 guest studios (with kitchen) were built on the roof (floor 2). As a couple on citytrip, visitor of one of the many trade fairs in KortrijkXpo or as a businessman / woman who is for business in town for a few days ... you feel like at home in the studios that were each finished in high quality and furnished with a great sense of interior and aesthetics. You will find the comfort and privacy of a holiday home, the services of a hotel and the cosiness & homeliness of an authentic B & B.

The studios have their own kitchen. Sleep heavenly on the mattress of local sleeping partner www.Ergodôme.be, hand made from natural materials in their workshops in Kortrijk. Each has its own bathroom, the studio under the ridge with bath. Each accommodation has a fantastic view over the roofs of Kortrijk with a view of the oldest high-rise building in the city, the White Residence, the Sint-Michiels Church at the rear, the Sint-Maartenskerk somewhat in the distance and the new ultra-modern K-Tower at Buda-Beach.

Sustainable and economical use of energy was central. A roof full of solar panels, a solar water heater for hot water and heat pumps with which the studios are heated in the winter or cooled in the summer.

You get access through a code system. You do not have to meet with us as host. No pressure, no rush ... just pretend you're at home. Our tips and advice about nice hotspots and must-do's in Kortrijk? We are happy to share them with you.

Living room for meetings, brainstorms, board meetings, ...

In the authentic living room, under the ceiling painting, up to 14 people (in a round table setting) or up to 20 (in a theater setting) can meet. Efficient meetings supported by an HD monitor or flipchart. Brainstorm or organize a workshop. You name it. It is also here that the guests of Homey can have breakfast if desired.

The location

Authentic mansion in the heart of Kortrijk

The Homey guest studios were built on the roof of an authentic mansion, dating from before 1850. The house has a rich history and had some public functions. The best known is the restaurant Tartuffe that spoiled many Kortrijkzanen culinary. But also The Relation, a nightclub where one could go after the typical T-Dansant at the time, many remember.

Anyone who has stories or information (or maybe even photo material) about Kasteelstraat 6, can send it to hello@homey-kortrijk.be. We will be happy to work with it later on.

The house has also served as offices during our first steps as entrepreneurs. We first stripped it completely and renovated it with respect for what was authentic but added a modern touch to it. Photos from then and now can be found on Facebook and Instagram. From 2009 until mid 2016 our first company Het Opzet was located in our current bedroom. Until the moment that the impact of our 5 colleagues on our family life became too big ;-)

We have always dreamed of letting others enjoy the authenticity and uniqueness of the house. With Homey we realize this partly. And who knows what is to follow ...

Homey is a short walk from the station with many connections to Ghent, Lille or Bruges. The street ends at the bottom of the Leie which crosses Kortrijk. A bit further you come across the Broel Towers and you can enjoy the recently lowered Leieboorden, aka the Kortrijkse Graslei. After 2 minutes walking you will find yourself in the middle of the Grote Markt which is adjacent to the shopping area with the many local hero's retailers and the 30,000 m² shopping center K in Kortrijk. You will also be charmed by the historic center with beguinage.

About us

Julie & Maarten. A team that realizes their dreams.

Hi, we are Julie and Maarten. Born in 1980. A dream team. But especially a team that dreams and realizes dreams.
We got to know each other during our law studies in Kortrijk. And now quietly realize every project that we have ever dreamed of. Unfortunately we have a few ;-) ... Our shared passion for authentic buildings brought us to the purchase and renovation of the mansion where now Homey is also located. Many weekends and evenings to renovate and finish. About 10 years. And in the meantime we also realized 3 kids ;-) ... Annabel, Josefien and Xander.

Both of us have the feeling that we already have a well-filled career. Maarten as manager at logistics company Katoen Natie and a full-service event agency. And then as town center manager of Kortrijk and founder / manager of our own company Het Opzet, which merged with Joyn in 2016. Julie as a lawyer and staff member at the Flemish Government. Love for creation, baking delicacies, receiving people and pampering culinary drifted her towards a diploma as a baker but also as a cook at Spermalie. And since the beginning of 2018 we have been building together again our second company www.wearewisely.com, active in destination marketing and smart city.

And now also Homey.
With great thanks also to some top partners and suppliers: heavenly mattresses and beds from Ergodome.be, beautiful interior items and furniture from the designers of Made.com and Ambertree.be, breakfast and meeting tables tailored by Leveninstijl.nl, artwork & illustration logo by Lobke from Redlobster.be, ...
