Sofitel Brussels Europe

Sofitel Brussels Europe

Brussels, Belgium

Located across from a pedestrian plaza on the edge of the stately Leopold Park, the Sofitel Brussels Europe offers a high level of comfort and service close to many museums and the European Parliament. Though it’s about 15 minutes by train to the main historic district, there are still plenty of restaurants and shops nearby, and the area gives you a sense of day-to-day life in Brussels.

The hotel’s lobby, with its circular skylight illuminating murals and other artworks by French and Belgian artists, offers a chic and relaxed atmosphere as you enter. The rooms and suites have a clean, contemporary design, with pale neutral furnishings and pops of deep red, orange and teal, and include amenities like rain showers, pillow menus and high-end audio systems.

The excellent restaurant and bar, the 1040, offers a wide range of options throughout the day. A rooftop terrace is available for use day or night, with views over the heart of the EU, and a spa with a hammam and Turkish sauna are available for your use at the end of a long day of exploring.

OUR OPINION:

We like this comfortable and relaxing hotel for its location in the European District, which is great for those interested in Brussels’ museums.
