Luxury Hotels
The finest accommodations in Belgium.
Hotel Amigo
Brussels' most prestigious luxury hotel, steps from the Grand Place in the heart of the historic center. A Rocco Forte property, the Amigo occupies a former 16th-century prison (the 'Amigo' name derives from Spanish slang for prison). Rooms are decorated with original Belgian art and tapestries, combining period elegance with modern luxury. The hotel has hosted royalty, heads of state, and celebrities since its opening.
The Hotel Brussels
Brussels' tallest hotel, a striking 25-floor tower on the fashionable Boulevard de Waterloo near the Sablon antiques quarter and Matonge district. Dramatic atrium lobby, panoramic city views from upper floors, and an excellent rooftop bar. Popular with business travelers and European political figures given its proximity to EU institutions.
Dukes' Palace, Bruges
A 5-star boutique hotel in Bruges' historic Prinsenhof quarter, on the site of the original Palace of the Dukes of Burgundy where Philip the Good held court and the Order of the Golden Fleece was founded. The current building (renovated 2008) combines medieval stonework, Gothic arches, and a cloister courtyard with contemporary luxury interiors. One of Belgium's most romantic hotel settings.
Hotel Julien, Antwerp
A sophisticated design boutique hotel in Antwerp's historic center, steps from the Cathedral of Our Lady. Two 16th-century merchant houses have been seamlessly connected and renovated to create 39 individually designed rooms and suites. Antwerp's most acclaimed design hotel, known for curated art, impeccable service, and an excellent rooftop terrace with cathedral views.
Manoir du Dragon, Knokke-Heist
An exclusive Art Deco villa hotel in the prestigious Zoute quarter of Knokke-Heist, Belgium's most fashionable coastal resort. Set in private gardens, the villa features individually decorated rooms and suites in Art Deco style. The hotel epitomizes Belgian coastal luxury — discreet, elegant, and deeply comfortable.
Fine Dining
Exceptional culinary experiences.
Hof van Cleve
Belgium's most prestigious restaurant and one of Europe's finest tables, holding three Michelin stars since 2005 under chef Peter Goossens. Located in a converted farmhouse in the rural Flemish Ardennes, 30 minutes from Ghent. The cuisine is rooted in classical French technique but profoundly Belgian in ingredient — North Sea seafood, Flemish vegetables, premium local game, and exceptional Belgian cheeses. The wine cellar (50,000+ bottles) is among Belgium's finest.
The Jane, Antwerp
One of the most visually spectacular restaurant settings in Europe — a deconsecrated Art Nouveau military chapel in Antwerp's Borgerhout district, transformed into a two-Michelin-star restaurant by chefs Nick Bril and (formerly) Sergio Herman. Stained glass windows, vaulted Gothic ceilings, and a DJ booth in the former pulpit create an extraordinary atmosphere. The cuisine is bold, creative, and globally influenced.
Bon Bon, Brussels
Chef Christophe Hardiquest's two-Michelin-star restaurant in Brussels' Woluwe-Saint-Pierre neighborhood, known for intellectually precise contemporary Belgian cuisine. Hardiquest's cooking explores Belgian identity through modern techniques, with exceptional attention to texture, fermentation, and regional ingredient provenance.
Comme Chez Soi, Brussels
One of Europe's most historic and beloved restaurants, holding three Michelin stars for decades and currently operating with two. Founded in 1926 and still family-owned, the Art Nouveau interior by Victor Horta's student is a national treasure. Chef Lionel Rigolet continues the classical Franco-Belgian tradition with exceptional technical precision.
Humphrey, Brussels
A more accessible one-Michelin-star option in Brussels' vibrant Sainte-Catherine fish market quarter. Chef Mathieu Beudaert produces imaginative, product-driven cuisine in a relaxed, convivial atmosphere. Belgian seafood, vegetables, and charcuterie treated with intelligence and restraint. One of Brussels' most exciting contemporary restaurants.
