Check Availability & Pricing
Hotel Information: Swathes of bronze marble, enormous chandeliers, and gold columns create a flamboyant entrance to this glamorous hotel. Built in 1895, it is the oldest hotel in Brussels and decorated to enhance its original splendor. Soft leather chairs, gentle lighting, and large ferns invite tourists and businesspeople to relax in the lounge area.
Amenity highlights: A complete facelift in 2002 transformed the dining room of the L’Alban Chambon restaurant into one of the city’s most romantic restaurants. The spectacular stained glass windows have been preserved while the extravagant interior decor of ochre marble and gold columns has been made lighter and airier with the introduction of parquet floors. The bar area, situated in the lobby, serves fine wine and champagne in a relaxed setting.
Insider tip: The nearby Parc de Bruxelles provides a perfect setting for a romantic stroll. Some of Brussels’ most opulent buildings are clustered around this formal park created in the 1870s, with poker-straight tree-lined avenues and a central fountain.
