The beginnings of Francorchamps…
The village of Francorchamps began to expand as of 1867, when the Spa-Stavelot-Gouvy railway was inaugurated.
However, it was only when the Francorchamps racetracks were built, at the beginning of the 1920’s, that Francorchamps stepped into the limelight and became internationally famous.
1926
Nearly 100 years of history!
The history of the Roannay Hotel dates back to 1926, when the initial building was used as a forge and ironmongery.
The Aubinet-Solheid family, who owned the building, then decided to convert it into a hotel and receive tourists and racetrack visitors.
