Hôtel Métropole *****

Inaugurated in 1895, the Hotel Metropole is ideally located in the historical centre of Brussels, just a few steps away from the Grand Place, the city's most exciting shopping thoroughfare la Rue Neuve, and only stops away from the EU district.

The 286 guestrooms and 23 suites contain original pieces of art and furnishings with styles ranging from art deco and Louis XVI to Baroque, Venitian and classical. Preserving the charm and character of traditional hospitality while offering modern facilities and comfort put the Hotel Metropole in a class of its own.

For over a century the Hotel Metropole has been welcoming personalities from the worlds of film, music, business and politics who are attracted by the quality of its service, its creative cuisine, grand interior and excellent location. Executive Chef Dominique Michou, Maître Cuisinier of France and Belgium, has created a classic yet daring French menu at the gourmet restaurant L' Alban Chambon; in the elegant Bar "Le 31" Corinthian columns and deep leather sofas invite guests to enjoy cocktails and local beers. Guests and visitors alike can experience a relaxing and invigorating breakfast at the Jardin Indien, perhaps after a refreshing workout in the hotel's fitness suite. The hotel offers 286 guest rooms and 23 suites and can accommodate up to 500 people in nine function rooms for reception, banquets, meetings and seminars, all with state of the art technical equipment. The Metropole Executive Centre built in 2007 offers thirteen further meeting rooms as well as relaxing business lounge.
