Experience the grandeur of Ostend by staying in one of the most beautiful apartments of the interwar period. The residence is the most beautiful example of modernist architecture of the late 1930s.

Residence Marie-José is located in the most iconic location of Ostend, right opposite the famous Hotel Du Parc and a few steps from the sea. The iconic corner building from 1939 is a protected monument in exceptionally good condition, which still appeals to the imagination.

The space
This apartment is made for easy living. Drop your bags, take a deep breath, and feel at home almost immediately.

The living area is bright and comfortable, set up for slow mornings, relaxed evenings, and everything in between. It’s a space that invites you to sit back, stretch out, and stay a little longer than planned, helped by the famously comfy Togo lounge seats. There’s also plenty of good reading material within reach, plus some analogue entertainment for when screens feel like a bit much: a collection of vintage cassette tapes and cassette players to rediscover the joy of pressing play.

The kitchen has everything you need if you feel like cooking something. But with excellent restaurants literally around the corner, there’s zero pressure to use it. Sometimes the hardest decision of the day is choosing where to eat.

The bedroom is calm and inviting, designed for proper rest. The mattress is high quality and very comfortable, so chances are you’ll sleep well and wake up refreshed - whether you’re here for a short escape or a longer stay. The apartment has recently been fitted with high-performance, sound-insulated windows, making it impressively quiet inside. A welcome contrast after a lively day out.

The bathroom is finished in natural stone, giving it a warm, spa-like feel. The spacious shower is perfect after a beach walk, a late night out, or simply because it feels good.

On cooler days, the fireplace in the living area adds an extra layer of warmth and atmosphere, making quiet evenings in especially tempting. There’s also a private laundry room with a washing machine and dryer, handy if you’re staying longer or prefer to pack light.

The apartment is a relaxed private base in the city: comfortable, thoughtfully arranged, and easy to enjoy, whether you’re out exploring all day or happily staying in.

Guest access
Guests have access to the entire apartment, which occupies the full second floor of the building. One clearly marked room is private and not accessible.

Other things to note
Ostend architect S.R. Smis designed spacious apartments with a spectacular view of the Casino Kursaal, Hotel Du Parc and the bustling Marie-Joséplein, completely tailored to the beau monde.

The apartment embraces the entire second floor of this impressive building. Among the ostentatious new-build projects, this heritage gem still recalls the early days of residential tourism.
