Thon Hotel EU

Thon Hotel EU is a four-star hotel in the European Quarter of Brussels, Belgium, in the Etterbeek municipality, close to the institutions of the European Union. The area around Schuman roundabout contains the European Commission's Berlaymont building, the Council of the European Union and the European Parliament, and the hotel is oriented toward the delegations, lobbyists and conference visitors who work there. The Schuman and Maelbeek metro stations are within walking distance, providing quick links to Brussels-Central, the Grand Place and the airport, while the Cinquantenaire Park with its triumphal arch and museums is a short walk east. The hotel belongs to the Norwegian Thon Hotels group, which operates several properties in Brussels, and the style is modern and functional. Rooms are offered as Standard rooms and Superior rooms, with rates typically around €110-200 per night in low season and €130-230 in high season. Basic facilities include Wi-Fi and a staffed reception; other facilities such as a restaurant or fitness room are not listed, so guests should check before arrival. Dining is plentiful in the surrounding European Quarter, where Place Jourdan, Rue Archimède and Square Marie-Louise have brasseries, Italian restaurants and cafes serving the lunchtime office crowd. The service character is business-oriented and efficient, with quieter weekends when EU staff leave the district. Leisure travellers can use it as a calmer base from which the centre is about ten minutes away by metro. The nearby Parc du Cinquantenaire and the Maelbeek and Square Marie-Louise ponds give pleasant green space for morning walks. Rooms fill quickly when summits or plenary sessions are scheduled, so advance reservation is wise.
