Hotel Dunepanne has made some extraordinary efforts in the recent period. It has however become clear that there is no prospect of making the enterprise financially sound.
This left the governing body of the non-profit organisation Dunepanne with no other option but to file for insolvency at the Commercial Tribunal Ghent, Bruges division. The economic position of the non-profit organisation Dunepanne today does not allow the hotel to continue operating and doing so would demonstrate poor governance.
The case file was submitted to the Tribunal on Monday 13 May 2024 and the lawyers Yves and Marc Castermans of Houtkaai 15/02, 8000 Bruges, were appointed as trustee. The trustee can be contacted via yves.castermans@castermans-advocaten.be
As a non-profit organisation, it was also with pain in our hearts that we had to make this decision. Our first concern is for the hotel guests and the staff. We therefore want to give you full information regarding the next steps.
New bookings at Hotel Dunepanne have no longer been possible since 15:00 on Monday 13 May 2024.
