What does pure luxury sound like? Discover it at La Butte aux Bois

Excellence is the norm

Dining in a restaurant with two Michelin stars, relaxing in the best spa in Belgium and enjoying Limburg’s nature: it's all possible at hotel La Butte aux Bois in Lanaken. Their five-star superior category is the highest possible luxury label in Europe – reserved for stays that even exceed the level of a five-star hotel. Jochen Leën, the in-house jeweller for many years, took over the business in 2020 and put his own stamp on it. Food & Beverage Manager Berry Dumont is responsible for the experience and gives us a look behind the scenes.

In search of a reliable music partner

In the tastefully decorated hotel, nothing is left to chance. Every detail of a stay must be excellent: the service, the flavours, the textures, the smells... and therefore also the music. "The music contributes to the typical La Butte aux Bois experience," says Berry. "And in order to create that perfect framework, we needed a professional, reliable and easy-to-use system. That's why we use Tunify."

Music tailored for every room

Tunify is used everywhere throughout the vast estate: from the reception to Ralf Berendsen's acclaimed restaurant and the award-winning spa. "The advantage of Tunify is that you can work with multiple zones and as such adapt the music to the function of each room," explains Berry. "With adjacent, open spaces, it is important to let the same atmosphere flow seamlessly, whilst for some parts of the hotel you want to evoke a slightly different feeling. With Tunify we arrange all that effortlessly.

Atmosphere according to the time of day

"The music that fits the image of la Butte aux Bois could be described as club lounge and chill house," says Berry. "Our manager visited luxury hotels all over the world and knows what’s required to take customers with you into a certain feeling. During breakfast we let guests wake up pleasantly with calm music. At lunch, you can add a bit more vibes, without too much bass. The aperitif and dinner are accompanied by cheerful songs with some more beats and deep house. With our Tunify Blue subscription, we can easily create music schedules ourselves. This way we have the right music on stand-by for the morning, afternoon and evening at the touch of a button. Furthermore, the music is automatically adapted to the time of day, the seasons and the hits of the region."
