Hotel Fleur de Ville
BRUSSELS’ CHIC NEW GEM UNVEILED
Where History and Luxury Meet
A new must-see address will light up the vibrant heart of Brussels from next June. The Hôtel Fleur de Ville, nestled in a former bank building, has been reinvented as a sumptuous boutique hotel, combining a cinematic aesthetic with retro design. A veritable showcase where every corner tells an extraordinary story, far from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
A revitalized historical treasure
Housed in an emblematic building, the Hôtel Fleur de Ville reveals a fascinating page from Brussels' financial past. Erected in 1889 by eclectic architect Hendrik Beyaert, and later embellished by Henri van Dievoet and Alban Chambon, famous for their sumptuous interiors, this monument has housed prestigious financial institutions. Today, its majestic architecture and historical details make it an invaluable place of remembrance.
An Immersion in the Past with a Modern Touch
The hotel's interior design pays homage to its rich past while embracing modernity with elegance. “It's like being in a Hercule Poirot movie,” enthuses Philippe Delissus, the hotel's director. “The elegance and intellect of the famous detective can be found in every nook and cranny, offering guests an immersive cinematic experience.” Interior designer Saar Zafrir adds, “We sought to offer a captivating artistic journey, incorporating authentic elements to celebrate the history and significance of this unique building.”
An Oasis of Refinement
The hotel offers 51 tastefully decorated rooms and suites, where Aesop luxury products ensure absolute relaxation. The Bluebell rooms, bathed in natural light thanks to their large windows overlooking the interior garden, and the Iris rooms, offering views of the city's bustling streets, feature authentic details such as fireplaces and original moldings. The four luxury suites, including the sumptuous Grand Magnolia Suite in the corner turret, promise a serene experience under a majestic dome.
In autumn, the private wellness facilities will open their doors with jacuzzi, sauna and relaxation area, inviting guests to escape from everyday life for total relaxation.
Exceptional gastronomy in the Ancienne Salle du Conseil
The Grand Foyer, a welcoming lounge bar, offers refreshing aperitifs and local digestifs. The second floor will soon house a chic restaurant in the former Council Chamber, with its high ceilings and retro-chic decor. Right from the opening, this unique setting will serve a sumptuous breakfast, as well as refined lunches and dinners, for hotel guests and outside visitors alike.
Brussels, the heart of Europe, is a jewel of artistic expression and cultural heritage. Its cobbled streets lined with historic buildings bear witness to a rich past. The city's culinary scene, renowned for its chocolatiers, gourmet restaurants and inviting bars, is to be discovered without moderation. Among this year's must-see events, don't miss the Tapis de Fleurs on the Grand-Place (August 15-18), Brussels Design September (September 12-30), the international contemporary art fair Art of Paper (October 3-6), as well as the Winterpret Christmas market and BRAFA, one of Europe's most prestigious art fairs, early next year.
