Inaugurated in September 2010, this superior 3-star hotel is located in the European Quarter, and is positioned opposite the Leopold Park. Breeze into a hotel that offers more than a comfy bed and a friendly smile, and enjoy a whole new travel experience. Energy flows and personalities mingle in a setting that combines urban-influenced design, accessible technology, and a social scene that’s always abuzz. Located next to the Espace Leopold, which houses the European Parliament, and further down is the Royal Palace of Brussels, which is situated in front of the beautiful Brussels Park. The hotel is approximately 5min walk from the popular Avenue Louise, 10min from the antique district of Sablon, and 15min from the famous Grand Place and the symbolic Manneken Pis. The hotel is also just 2mins away from the Schumann station. The hotel is housed in a contemporary 8-storey building built in 2010. Grab and go at “re:fuel”, a self-serve gourmet eatery full of mix-and-match meals, make-your-own cappuccinos, and more. Available 24-7 for the ultimate convenience, it’s the perfect place to refuel when you need a quick pick-me-up! Meet, mix, and mingle over cocktails at the ever-abuzz, never-a-dull-moment “w xyz bar”. The fun flows freely with everything from pints to Pinot Noirs to specialty sippers, plus a snack-attack menu, mood music, and can’t-miss events. Appealing to on-the-go and in-the-know travellers, the 28 sqm Aloft rooms are equally carefree and bold. Choose between one big, plush king-size bed or the flexibility of two equally plush queen-size beds. They have extra-large windows which create a bright, airy environment. Your always-available in-room “office” includes an ergonomic workspace, plus complimentary wired and wireless high-speed Internet Access. The plug & play connectivity station charges all your electronics and links to the 42” LCD TV to maximize work and play. In the sleek stylish bathroom, details are designed to stimulate your senses. Natural light illuminates the walk-in shower through a full-length frosted glass panel, which faces the guestroom for a free flow of light with plenty of privacy. The eco-friendly dispenser doles out super-sudsy bath amenities specially created for the hotel.
