"This upbeat boutique hotel, plumb in the middle of one of the most attractive parts of central Brussels, combines smart hospitality with character." Full review
"There’s plenty more going for Hôtel des Galeries, for one its well-loved restaurant and two its location in Galeries Royales Saint-Hubert, a covered walkway dating back to the 19th century"
"The look is streamlined and contemporary, with the building’s original bones providing old-fashioned character: think parquet floors, vaulted ceilings, skylights, and wooden shutters" Full review
