Having just opened after renovation works that were completed in April, the hotel has consolidated its reputation as one of the city’s slickest meeting places. Guests will immediately be impressed as they enter the stylish lobby, conceived by award-winning hotel designer Saar Zafrir. An array of fascinating artworks adorn the walls, adding to the cosmopolitan, classy vibe.

The President Brussels Hotel could not be better placed in terms of accessibility. It is only 500 metres from Bruxelles-Nord railway station — where you can catch a direct train to the airport in ten minutes. Meanwhile, the Bruxelles-Midi station, which is served by Eurostar, is just a 15-minute drive away, or ten minutes away by train.

Travellers arriving by car will be pleased to know the hotel has a private car park complete with two Tesla chargers. “We’re located right at the entrance of the city, so you avoid all the traffic in the centre,” explains Nicoletta Kostis, director of sales and marketing.

The city’s many business and exhibition centres are in close proximity of the ho-tel, while metro stations are within walking distance.

Haven of peace

A real highlight of the hotel is its private garden, a 3,000 square metre haven of peace and tranquility. “It’s a green eden in the city centre,” enthuses Nicoletta. “That’s really rather unique in Brussels and ideal now that the warmer weather has arrived.”
