Nestled just a few steps from the historic Grand Place in Brussels and less than 10 minutes walk from Brussels Central station, The Dominican luxury boutique hotel is ideally located for a weekend exploring this fabulous city.
Location
The hotel stands on what was a Dominican abbey in the 15th century, and after 1800 the famous neo-classicist painter Jacques-Louis David had his home here. Now, sitting majestically among the golden gables in the heart of Brussels, it has become a luxurious 21st-century luxury hotel, offering a unique combination of historical elegance and modern design.
Style & Character
The interior is a contemporary interpretation of the old cloister, featuring the designs of the prize-winning Amsterdam agency, FGStijl. The restoration is beautifully finished. There is a trendy lounge bar with high ceilings and impressive windows, an intimate “Grand Lounge” restaurant, as well as a peaceful courtyard bistro for the summer. The stylish and uplifting decor mixes luxurious fabrics and rich colors, giving a relaxing feel to both the rooms and the communal areas. Take a stroll through the abbey corridor in the late afternoon sun, have a casual drink in the cosmopolitan Lounge Bar, and experience an ever-changing range of moods in unforgettable surroundings.
