What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Regal – what better word to describe a stay in this luxury hotel?...the rooms sport a tasteful decor and the service is equally impeccable.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
The Grand-Place sits two minutes away on foot, and Brussels Central Station is just around the corner.
The rooms
Bedrooms stay understated with warm timber furniture and dark brown finishes. Upstairs, the penthouse suite opens onto a terrace facing the Grand-Place tower.
The spa & gym
Chutney's Restaurant
Red banquettes and vintage casks furnish the brasserie, which serves classic waterzooi and steaming pots of mussels.
At the table
Secret Rooftop serves Belgian gins on the timber terrace, looking out over the skyline toward the town hall spire.
How it began
The Duke of Wellington inspected his troops on this site before Waterloo, long before the hotel opened as the Royal Windsor in 1973.

The eight vibes

Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.

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.

Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
