Hotel La Légende

Hotel La Légende is a small hotel at Rue du Lombard 35 in central Brussels, Belgium, next to the Manneken Pis statue and a few steps from the Grand Place. The address sits where the old town meets the Lombard and Marolles districts, so visitors can walk to the Town Hall square, the Galeries Royales Saint-Hubert and the Mont des Arts, and Gare Centrale is also within walking distance. The antiques quarter of the Sablon and the Marolles flea market on Place du Jeu de Balle lie a little farther south. The hotel's theme draws on Brussels folklore and comic-book culture, a fitting match for a city that calls itself the capital of the comic strip, and its rooms are decorated around comic-book and legend motifs. Accommodation comes as Standard, Superior and Triple rooms, with air conditioning and Wi-Fi, and the Triple rooms suit small groups or families. The price band is mid-range, roughly €90-160 per night in low season and €110-190 in high season. Guests can take breakfast at the hotel, and there is a bar for drinks, while restaurants, frites stands and waffle shops are plentiful along the surrounding streets. There are no spa or pool facilities, so the hotel focuses on location and a distinctive character at a moderate price. Service is informal and personal in the manner of a small property. Because the hotel is beside one of the busiest tourist photo-stops in the city, the street can be crowded in the daytime and on weekends. The comic-strip murals that decorate many nearby walls form an easy self-guided walking route from the door.
