Picolo recommends · Hotel in Brussels, Belgium
The Hotel Brussels
From the upper floors you can trace the city from the Palace of Justice out to the Atomium, and watch the lights come on from the bar at dusk.
Draw back the curtains on an upper floor and the whole city is laid out below: the dome of the Palace of Justice close by, the steel spheres of the Atomium on the horizon. The Hotel occupies a tower at the far end of Avenue Louise.
Rooms are modern and full of light, thanks to large windows. The location is well connected by tram and metro, which makes it straightforward to reach the old centre or the EU quarter.
Picolo’s verdict
Why we chose The Hotel Brussels
We chose it for the view. Few hotels in Brussels give you the whole skyline from your room, and the bar on the top floors is the place for an evening drink as the city lights up.
The tower itself has little character, and the streets around are mostly shops and busy traffic. If you dream of cobbles and gables outside the window, stay in the old centre instead.
What you get
- Views across the city from the upper floors
- Bar on the top floors
