Juliana Hotel Brussels
Brussels, Belgium
Vibe
Behind a neoclassical facade on Place des Martyrs, intimate residential corridors reveal private art collections, velvet seating, and quiet boutique hospitality.
“Neoclassical arts hideaway”
Interiors feature custom Hermès wallpaper, a private art collection, and a 1930s wrought-iron stairwell.
Marble bathrooms feature deep soaking tubs and rain showers alongside personalized boutique service across quiet residential floors.
A listed neoclassical residence on Place des Martyrs preserving original timber beams and high mansard ceilings.
On pedestrianised Place des Martyrs, steps from Rue Neuve and a short stroll to Grand-Place.
“Though it occupies a rather monumental Neoclassical building facing the Place des Martyrs, Juliana Hotel Brussels is residential in its scale and its atmosphere.”
Rooms
Individually styled rooms feature high ceilings or mansard beams, paired with marble bathrooms and views of the historic square or courtyard garden.
“With only 37 rooms and six suites scattered across three floors, the sophisticated Juliana Hotel Brussels proves both spacious and secluded.”
Wellness
In the basement spa, a heated pool sits beneath a Murano glass mosaic mural, alongside a traditional sauna and steam bath.
Backstory
Italian designer Eugenio Manzoni layered the listed neoclassical townhouse with owner Eric Cléton's private sculptures and custom furnishings.
Eat & drink
The low-lit bar serves craft cocktails beneath metallic wall finishes, while the dining room prepares seasonal Italian plates and Belgian classics.
The neighborhood
Set directly on pedestrianised Place des Martyrs, the hotel offers a quiet retreat within a short walk of the Grand-Place.

Our shorthand
What makes a hotel special, how well they pull it off, and what it feels like outside the door.
How well they pull it off
Extremely rare. Sets the global standard.
Brilliant execution. And we’re picky.
They did this well. You’ll notice.
A defining trait. Makes the hotel what it is.
The eight vibes
Architecture and interiors lead. There’s a creative vision at work.
The guest is conspicuously well cared for. Requests met before they’re made.
Rooted in place. Local character runs through the whole stay.
Energy and scene. Where the city goes out, whether or not it’s sleeping here.
A building with history. The story of the place is part of the stay.
Built around feeling better. Rest, sweat, soak, spa.
A hotel the city grew up with. Same rituals, same regulars.
A world of its own. No reason to leave the property.
Scene — what’s outside the door
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
A place apart: the property is the destination.
