Hotel Barsey by Warwick

Hotel Barsey by Warwick is located at Avenue Louise 381-383 in Ixelles, in the upper part of Brussels, Belgium, near the Bois de la Cambre. Avenue Louise is the city's main upmarket shopping boulevard, lined with boutiques, galleries and cafés, and the hotel sits toward its southern end, where the street meets the green edge of the city. Tram lines run along the avenue to Louise and the Porte de Namur area, from where the lower town and the Grand Place are reachable in around twenty minutes, and the Bois de la Cambre and the Abbaye de la Cambre are within walking distance. The property is a design-led four-star hotel in the luxury category of the guide data, with a contemporary look rather than a historic one. Room types are Standard rooms and Superior rooms. Guide rates run from about €190-320 per night in low season, reflecting the upscale Avenue Louise address. The hotel has a restaurant and bar on site, and Wi-Fi and a staffed reception are listed among the amenities. The service character is that of a boutique-style city hotel, suited to couples, shoppers and business travellers working in the Louise district rather than to sightseers who want to be beside the Grand Place. The surrounding neighbourhood has a calm, residential feel in the evenings, with the Ixelles ponds, Place Flagey and the Châtelain district's restaurants and Wednesday market reachable by tram or a short ride. Art Nouveau houses by Victor Horta and his contemporaries can be found in the nearby streets of Ixelles and Saint-Gilles. Visitors planning to spend time in the Bois de la Cambre for walking or cycling, or those who prefer an elegant residential base to a tourist-centre location, will find the position useful.
