One of the perfect places to stay in Brussels is the five-star Radisson Blu
Royal Hotel with its Art Deco façade, which was designed by famed Belgian
architect, Michel Jaspers.
The hotel lies in the heart of Brussels, an animated city full of attractions as
well as events that are organised throughout the year.
The famous Grand’Place is just a 4 minutes walk from the hotel and holds a 15th century Gothic City Hall as well as an extraordinary ensemble of Baroque town houses. It is surrounded by a labyrinth of small streets, which are lined with shops offering Brussels’ famous beer and chocolate, typical Belgian restaurants and cafés as well as centuries of history.
The oldest shopping centre in Europe, the Galleries de la Reine, with its splendid glass vault, is lined with houses boasting pre-neoclassical façades. Strolling through the gallery, you will find numerous superb boutiques, bookstores, furriers and designer stores that end just below the imposing towers of the St Michel & St Gudule Cathedral, one of the glories of Brabant’s Gothic style.
The Comic Strip, the Beer and the Chocolate Museums as well as the
Manneken-Pis, the famous little boy with six hundred and fifty costumes, are
only a few minutes walk from the hotel.
