NH Collection Brussels Grand Place Arenberg

The NH Collection Brussels Grand Place Arenberg is an upscale hotel at Rue d'Assaut 15 in central Brussels, Belgium, facing the steps of the Cathedral of St. Michael and St. Gudula. The cathedral, the city's main Gothic church, rises directly across the street, and the hotel sits on the upper side of the lower town, so most routes to the sights are a short downhill walk. The Galeries Saint-Hubert, one of Europe's earliest covered shopping arcades, and the Grand Place are both a few minutes away on foot, as are the Mont des Arts and the Royal Quarter uphill. Brussels-Central station is within about ten minutes, and the Gare Centrale and Parc metro stops provide onward connections. The hotel is modern in character, belonging to the NH Collection brand of the Spanish NH Hotels group, and offers Superior rooms, Deluxe rooms and suites. Rates are typically about €130-220 per night in low season and €160-260 in high season. Rooms are air-conditioned and include Wi-Fi, and the hotel has a restaurant, a bar and a fitness room. Breakfast is served on site, and the neighbourhood around the Rue d'Assaut and the Galeries offers many restaurants, waffle shops and chocolate stores for other meals. The service character is aimed at city-break visitors and business guests alike, with a polished, contemporary feel rather than a historic one. The cathedral square is also a short distance from the Place des Palais and the Magritte Museum, so the location works well for a museum-focused stay. The surroundings are generally calm at night compared with the Grand Place itself, offering convenience without the loudest crowds. Visitors travelling with luggage should note that the walk back from the centre is uphill.
