Description
In the 15th century an inn was built where travellers and coachmen of covered wagons and stagecoaches found shelter. This inn quickly grew into one of the first hotels in Flanders, under the name ?Den Gauden Appel? (The Golden Apple). For nobles and wealthy merchants who travelled with diligences and carriages, this was a beloved accommodation. Emperor Charles also liked to visit Oudenaarde in between trips and war and his daughter Margaret of Parma regularly stayed here. The Sun King Louis XIV gallicized the name into La Pomme d'Or.
The rooms at Hotel La Pomme D'Or Oudenaarde have private bathrooms, air conditioning, television with DVD player, safe and wireless internet. The sunny terrace is accessible from the lounge and restaurant, you can enjoy an aperitif or your dessert. The cosy bistro overlooks the beautiful market.
In the market square is a decorative fountain that was donated by Louis XIV. The famous Gothic Town Hall on the market has beautiful collections of silver and tapestries. From the 15th to the 18th century, Oudenaarde was a thriving and prosperous centre of the carpet industry and Oudenaarde tapestries were exported around the world.
