What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
there’s an air of the members’ club about the Harmon House, with its multi-use social spaces, where co-working blends seamlessly into dinner or entertaining over drinks.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Avenue Louise's fashion boutiques are a short walk away. Outside, Saint-Gilles unfolds with a quieter residential pace.
The rooms
Quiet monochrome or saturated palettes frame box-spring beds, paired with adjustable mood lighting and stone bathrooms.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Daybeds border the subterranean pool, where an overhead cascade pours into the blue water against dark marble walls.
The spa
Ergonomic loungers line the subterranean relaxation lounge, set beside two treatment rooms for essential oil massages.
Hammam, sauna and gym
A white marble steam hammam adjoins the timber sauna, steps from a jacuzzi and a dedicated fitness room.
Harmon Bar
Bartenders torch rosemary over cocktails at the glowing counter, set beneath a colorful garland of paper flowers.
How it began
The 19th-century mansion stood derelict on Chaussée de Charleroi before a two-year restoration revived its original mouldings.
