What it’s good at
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Its 59 rooms are a lavish fantasy in deep blue, and combine glamorous retro ornamentation with the focused simplicity that's characteristic of modern design.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The pedestrian street outside leads straight to the Grand-Place, and the Bourse is a short walk away.
The rooms
Deep navy walls surround custom velvet headboards, and floral wallpaper illustrates the five senses.
Restaurant
Le Conteur
Middle Eastern sharing plates arrive from the open kitchen, served amid ochre velvet banquettes and indoor palms.
At the table
Tapestry barstools line the pleated velvet bar, where craft cocktails are poured beneath crystal chandeliers.
How it began

The hotel takes its name from human cravings, prompting a 2022 redesign dedicated to stimulating the senses.
