Modern hotel facing the cathedral steps, with a short downhill walk to Galeries Saint-Hubert and the Grand Place.
The NH Collection Brussels Grand Place Arenberg is an upscale hotel at Rue d'Assaut 15, facing the steps of the Cathedral of St. Michael and St. Gudula in central Brussels. The position sits at the top of the historic centre, with a short downhill walk to the Galeries Royales Saint-Hubert, the Grand Place and the Manneken Pis, and Gare Centrale is only a few minutes away on foot, which suits rail and airport arrivals. The Parc de Bruxelles and the Royal quarter lie in the other direction, and the Brussels Park metro station is also close. The building is contemporary, with a modern interior that contrasts with the Gothic cathedral outside. The overall vibe is smart and practical, with design-led public spaces and a service style that suits both leisure visitors on a short city break and business travellers. Room categories include Superior rooms, Deluxe rooms and suites, and all rooms are air-conditioned with Wi-Fi. Facilities include a restaurant, a bar and a fitness room. Breakfast is served as a buffet that includes hot dishes, pastries and fresh fruit, and the hotel restaurant offers evening dining with Belgian and Mediterranean influences. The surrounding streets contain many brasseries, chocolate shops and waffle stalls, so guests have plenty of options within a few minutes on foot. Rates usually run from about €130 to €220 per night in low season and from €160 to €260 in high season. The hotel works well as a base for first-time visitors who want to reach the main sights on foot without needing public transport. The walk from the cathedral to the Grand Place is downhill, so the return trip with shopping bags is uphill and may take longer.
