Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set in vibrant Saint-Gilles along Chaussée de Charleroi near Ixelles, the hotel sits moments from neighborhood bistros and central tram lines.
The rooms
Poured concrete ceilings and exposed conduits meet pale pine joinery, space-saving cubist furnishings, and layered textiles across singles, doubles, and bunks.
The rooftop pool
Bring a swimsuit.
A heated plunge pool sits on the timber rooftop deck, looking out over the surrounding Brussels rooftops.
The spa
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Kaiju serves pan-Asian sharing plates in a dining room of plywood banquettes, concrete bars, and graphic ceilings.
How it began
Once a 1970s office that housed an architecture school, the concrete structure was reimagined by Belgian designer Lionel Jadot using reclaimed materials.
