Ostend Hotels and accommodation in Ostend

Ostend: A long time coastal resort, made more famous by King Leopold I in the 19th century. It has miles of wide sandy beaches and, not surprisingly, much of its tourists attractions revolve around the sea or its military historical importance. There is an excellent aquarium, a floating museum, the Mercator, which was an old navy training ship and many war museums ranging from the Napoleonic to the 2nd World War. Until fairly recently, fishing was the main occupation of the inhabitants of Ostend. The fish market is still a wonder to behold and make sure you treat yourself to a snack from one of the many fish kiosks in the area or an even more wondrous restaurant meal of the many specialty fish dishes which come from the region. Ostend is also the home to one of Europe's largest casinos. If you can afford it, stay at the Thermae Palace Hotel, near the seafront and thermal baths complex. It is a traditional hotel, built in the 1930s and has become a landmark of Ostend. Not too far away from Ostend is De Panne another resort made famous by Leopold 1 and perhaps more stunning with its sand dune scenery than Ostend. Don't be surprised, however, to see what appears to be a herd of elephants trundling down the beach towards the sea. They are in fact, beautiful, life-sized models created by a South African artist in 2006 - a quirky but effective sight to see.
