Le Dixsèptieme, Brussels, Belgium

When you've had enough of sightseeing, head for the nearby Le Cercle des Voyageurs, a laidback bar in Rue des Grands Carmes, tucked away to the west of the Grand Place.

Both the Cathedral and the Grand Place are under 10 minutes' walk away.
By plane: there are direct flights from London, Manchester, Edinburgh, Bristol and Birmingham. The hotel is a 25-minute drive from the airport.
By train: the Eurostar goes direct from London St Pancras to Brussels (2 hours). The terminal is a 10-minute drive from the hotel.

This hotel is ideal for people who want to be in the centre of the city, amongst the buzz and the main sights, but with a quiet retreat to which to return. We love the feeling of calm and tranquillity as soon as you step off the pavement and slip behind the discreetly signed door.

The bar is very discreet - tucked behind a door by reception - and staff simply come and find you in one of the two lounges or garden.

The traditional rooms in the old part often have the more unusual features, such as a fireplace or a fresco, while the more modern rooms have easier access to the courtyard garden. The monogrammed bedlinen and bathrobes just ooze elegance and old-world luxury.
