Lodging in Brussels, like many other European cities, runs the gamut. There are simple hostels to mid-range hotels to luxury hotels that cater to the dignitaries of the European Union.
Located in the Cinquantenaire and Schuman section of the city, Hotel Silken Berlaymont has great rates and a lively atmosphere, even though it has somewhat of a serious look to its decor. The rooms are stylishly appointed, featuring black marble and chrome finishes, and there is an on-site spa, sauna, and fitness center. The cafe is also known to serve tasty dishes.
Le Dixseptieme is a romantic treasure in Lower Town, featuring beautiful guest rooms. The 17th century building has been lovingly restored, and they all surround an interior courtyard. Some rooms feature a view of the Grand’Place. This is a perfect place to stay for a romantic retreat or a honeymoon.
Nestled among the boutiques and shops of Upper Town, NH Hotel du Grand Sablon is an unexpected treat. The interior courtyard is a quiet respite from the sometimes noisy road just outside, and the rooms are smartly decorated and comfortable.
Located in the section of Brussels known as South of Centre, Manos Premier is an upscale lodging option. A rose garden filled with beautiful birds, dramatic terraces, and antique laden guest rooms are just some of the highlights. Make sure to take advantage of the Moroccan-inspired sauna.
