Floris Hotel Arlequin Grand-Place

Floris Hotel Arlequin Grand Place is a family-run three-star hotel at Rue de la Fourche 17-19 in the Grand Place area of Brussels, Belgium. It stands on a pedestrian street between the Grand Place and the Rue des Bouchers restaurant district, so the main square is a one- to two-minute walk away. The Galeries Royales Saint-Hubert, the Manneken Pis and the Bourse are all within about ten minutes on foot, and Brussels-Central station is a short walk uphill. The hotel is a mid-range option whose appeal is location and value in an area where many rooms cost considerably more. Room types include Standard rooms, Superior rooms and Family rooms, which makes it workable for parents travelling with children. Guide rates run from about €95-170 per night, depending on season. Amenities include a restaurant, a bar, Wi-Fi and a breakfast buffet. The service style is that of a small owner-managed hotel, with friendly, informal reception staff who can advise on restaurants and sights. Because the street is pedestrian, there is no through traffic, though the surrounding lanes are busy with diners and visitors in the evening, so lighter sleepers may prefer a room away from the street. Dining options in the immediate vicinity cover traditional Belgian cooking, mussels, frites and waffles, and many places on Rue des Bouchers are aimed at tourists, so checking menus and prices before sitting down is sensible. Accessing the hotel by car is impractical because of the pedestrian zone, and guests arriving by taxi are typically dropped at the edge of the area. For first-time visitors who want to be in the middle of the historic centre on a moderate budget, the hotel is a straightforward and convenient choice.
