Hotel Chambord

Hotel Chambord is a three-star hotel on Rue de Namur in the Matongé area of central Brussels, Belgium, between the Royal Palace district and the Porte de Namur. The street links the upper town with the Place Royale, and the Royal Palace, the Parc de Bruxelles, the Magritte Museum and the Royal Museums of Fine Arts are all reachable on foot in roughly ten to fifteen minutes. Porte de Namur metro station is at the end of the street, giving access to lines 2 and 6, and the Grand Place is about fifteen minutes' walk downhill. The hotel is a mid-range, no-frills property rather than a boutique or heritage hotel, and its appeal lies in the position and the price. Room types are Standard rooms and Superior rooms. Guide rates run from about €90-150 per night in low season. Wi-Fi and a staffed reception are listed among the amenities; there is no spa or pool, and guests should check whether breakfast is included or charged separately. The service character is simple and practical, suited to independent travellers, couples and visitors attending events in the European Quarter or the Louise district. Matongé, the Congolese and African quarter around Chaussée d'Ixelles, lies a few minutes' walk away and has restaurants, grocers and hairdressers with a distinctly different character from the tourist centre. Rue de Namur itself has cafés and shops, and the Place du Grand Sablon, with its antiques dealers and chocolatiers, is a short walk toward the lower town. Visitors should note that the area is busy during the day and quieter after dark. The hotel suits travellers who want to be close to the museums and the upper town without paying the prices of the Grand Place hotels.
