Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Luxury boutiques line Avenue Louise right outside, and the neighborhood bistros of Châtelain are a short walk away.
The rooms
Selected Deluxe rooms have private infrared saunas. Generous layouts throughout the hotel keep a mix of vintage and modern furniture.
The sauna
A seven-seater communal sauna sits in the wellness area, beside an infrared cabin and a suspended wicker egg chair.
91-bar
Tall stools line the illuminated gold counter, where bartenders pour Belgian beers and classic cocktails under a glass chandelier.
At the table
Morning buffets lay out in-house smoked salmon across marble counters, bordered by mustard-yellow chairs and large windows.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
