Hotel Review
The Dominican, Brussels, Belgium
WHAT WE LOVE...
Opposite the opera house, on the site of a 15th-century Dominican monastery (and hence the name), the hotel makes reference to its ecclesiastical connections - double-height rooms, vast windows, cloister-style courtyard - but is otherwise a thoroughly modern luxury hotel with a strong design feel. Plenty of glass, cream leather sofas, velvet-covered chairs and big spaces flowing into one another create a fashionable environment where people like to see and be seen. The vast dining area, with its floor-to-ceiling windows, serves up smart brasserie dishes while a slinky bar is popular for cocktails. Spacious bedrooms have a masculine feel with plain walls, dark coloured fabrics and woods, some with bold paintings. A classy central choice.
THE DETAILS
Location
One of the fun things to do in Brussels is spot the cartoon and graffiti art on buildings; often witty, always well-executed, and this hotel is close to some gems.
The famous Grand Place, with its stunning gothic architecture, is a mere 5-minute walk away.
By plane: there are direct flights from London, Manchester, Edinburgh, Bristol and Birmingham. The hotel is a 30-minute drive from the airport.
By train: the Eurostar goes direct from London St Pancras to Brussels (2 hours). The terminal is a 15-minute drive from the hotel.
Style & Character
This hotel will suit anyone (leisure or business) who wants a large, central hotel with a touch of pizzazz, and is a fashionable hot-spot. The huge spaces give it a luxurious feel; very relaxing after the bustle of the city outside.

Rooms
A nice touch in the larger rooms are the copies of richly coloured paintings by Jacque-Louis David, the French artist who lived here in the 19th century. The lack of fussy details is very restful and makes the rooms feel even larger.
