Michelin Guide "A designer-inspired luxury hotel on the site of a former ominican convent. Open spaces, elegant furniture and modern comforts which benefit from maximum attention to detail."

OysterUpper-middle-range
"The upper-middle-range Hotel des Galeries is in a mid-19th century heritage building, a short walk to one of Brussels' main railway stations, the metro, and many top attractions." Full review
The Telegraph8.0
"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
Independent "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"
Michelin Guide "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
