Manos Stéphanie

Manos Stéphanie is an upscale four-star hotel on the Chaussée de Charleroi in Saint-Gilles, Brussels, Belgium, near Place Stéphanie and Avenue Louise. The location sits between the shopping district of Avenue Louise and the Art Nouveau houses of Saint-Gilles, and the Louise and Porte de Namur areas offer boutiques, galleries, cafes and a wide choice of restaurants. Tram and metro stops, including Louise, give access to the Grand Place, which is around twenty minutes away, and the Horta Museum is a short distance toward Saint-Gilles. The hotel is a sister property to Manos Premier on the same avenue, and the two share a reputation for classic style and traditional service. The district gives the hotel an elegant, residential atmosphere, and the surrounding streets contain embassies, law offices and boutique shops, so it suits business as well as leisure travellers. Rooms are offered as Standard and Superior categories. Listed amenities are Wi-Fi and a reception, so guests wanting details of dining, fitness or meeting facilities should confirm them with the hotel directly. The nearby Place Stéphanie and Avenue Louise have a large choice of dining options, from brasseries and bistros to high-end restaurants, which compensates for limited on-site information. Service is that of a four-star property, with a staffed reception able to help with taxis, bookings and local advice. The hotel suits shoppers, couples, business travellers and visitors exploring the Art Nouveau architecture of the area. Nightly rates run about €100-180 in low season and €115-200 in high season. The Chaussée de Charleroi is a busy road, so guests who need quiet may ask for a room at the rear or on an upper floor. Booking ahead is wise during fashion weeks, conferences and the Christmas period.
