Four-generation family hotel on Westerlo's main square — on-site restaurant, orangerie event space, garden [11]. The only proper hotel inside true walk-back range; 18 rooms means availability is rarely the constraint [12].

The walk back, plotted

From De Trannoyplein 17 · foot-route distances
0 m · the kitchen 2 km · long-edge walkable

The two abbey-adjacent options (Abbey, Villa Zonneweelde) cluster around 1 km; the 1.6–2.0 km band is everything else in the deelgemeente. Beyond 2 km, you've left walking range — take a taxi (see "Out of range" below) or read the sibling guide to special-character lodging within taxi range.
