Mario Vanoppen is well known for his ice cream parlours, but he now also offers a unique overnight stay in the heart of Tongeren at Logie Mario. Waking up with a view of the Basilica of Tongeren. Who can say that?
Romans Everywhere
In Tongeren, you could almost say you stumble from one Roman stone to another. One fascinating story leads straight into the next. Mario saw the opportunity to spoil tourists with a pleasant place to stay close to the magnificent Gallo-Roman Museum. There is always something happening there. Numerous Roman walks through the city and events such as Ciao Tongeren also draw visitors into the Roman past.
Staying Overnight with a Roman Touch
The rooms at Logie Mario are stylish, timeless and instantly make you feel at ease. A moment to let time stand still before travelling back in time to experience Tongeren’s Roman past. Guests are treated to a pleasant Roman touch. Upon arrival, they receive a welcome gift: the Roman Tungri Gold beer, brewed with honey.
A Roman-Style Breakfast
In the morning, your taste buds are treated to a Roman-inspired breakfast. A delicious moretum cheese on a spelt bread roll, or perhaps a stuffed egg with honey and sage. Be surprised by the creativity of the chef, who draws inspiration from the cookbook of the Roman Apicius from the 1st century AD.
A Unique View
One of the most unique features of Logie Mario is that, from your bed, you look out over the magnificent Basilica of Tongeren. Majestic! Breathtaking! And yes, on a beautiful morning you can even enjoy your breakfast on the terrace while admiring this unique piece of architecture
