What it’s good at
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Cirque Royal sits next door on Rue Royale, with the Grand Place an easy walk down into the lower city.
The rooms
Rooms are compact and straightforward, with dark granite bathrooms and monsoon showers.
Dogs stay too.
Bar
One Lounge
Brass ring lights hang above the morning breakfast buffet, and the bar serves coffee, waffles, and regional spirits.
How it began
The site once housed the headquarters of Le Soir, Belgium's daily newspaper, before this purpose-built hotel opened in 2014.

Our shorthand
How we rate hotels.

Brilliant execution. And we’re picky.

The eight vibes
Design
Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.
Luxe
Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
