Where to Stay in Brussels

The capital of Europe has a wide range of hotels to suit all needs. While they range from apartment residences to glamping sites, these two five-star offerings satisfy those in search of luxury and refinement:

"The Hotel Amigo in Brussels pulled out all the stops to ensure we had a pampered family stay in the city. They supplied us with several children's amenities such as a toddler-sized robe, bubble bath, and pack-n-play. In addition, we found ourselves at the doorstep of the city's beautiful, walkable cobblestone streets. All of us, including our two-year-old daughter, were in heaven."

-- Elizabeth Frels, Director of Product Management & Development

Not only is it the world capital of Art Nouveau, but it is also the epicenter of surrealism, the Mecca of comics, and a gastronomic paradise. Plus, it boasts more than 100 museums and nearly 20,000 cultural events.

Therefore, Brussels travelers will appreciate the many Brussels museums and cultural experiences and the unique perspective they provide. As such, here are a few of our favorite exclusive tours in Brussels Belgium:

Food, Drink & Culinary Adventures

From chocolate to beer, and waffles to Michelin stars, Belgium showcases an array of culinary delights. Indeed, Brussels boasts 14 Michelin-starred restaurants. And while each is an experience in itself, some have a special setting that makes the experience even more unique.

For example, the CHALET DE LA FORÊT, nestled on the edge of Sonian Forest and boasting an exceptional terrace. COMME CHEZ SOI, which will soon celebrate its 100th anniversary, offers meals in the kitchen, in the magnificent Art Nouveau-inspired main room or at the table d’hôtes in the middle of the house’s cellar. And finally, there’s LA VILLA IN THE
SKY, which really is located on the roof of a skyscraper and offers a breathtaking view of the city.

"Christmas in Belgium is just as magical as you might expect. I will never forget tasting my first authentic Belgian waffle, as well as the mulled wine spiked with Amaretto. The country's iconic chocolate and festive atmosphere even further contributed to my holiday spirit."
