What a gorgeous hotel! We stayed over new years eve and it was the perfect place for some fun but also to relax after the celebrations. The design of both the rooms and the public spaces is incredible. The more you look, the more little design details you discover. Minimal extras in the rooms actually feels like a nice chnage from the usual (no minibar, bathrobes etc) as it keeps things feeling clean and minimal. Also probably one of the best views of Brussels from the privacy of your bed - Book a corner room and thank me later. We don’t normally dine at the hotel restaurant when travelling, but in this case, Cantina Valentina was hard to resist. Fantastic menu and a really cool setting to try some delicious Peruvian food. Service wise, we had no issues. As with any new hotel, there are of course a few small operational kinks to work out. But that’s understandable and didn’t negatively impact us in any major way during our stay. Big shout out to the entire reception team for being so lovely. You guys make the hotel 10x times better by being so warm, welcoming and helpful. Thank you! If you are a boutique hotel lover heading to Brussels, this is the place for you.

We made a booking at The Hoxton in Brussels just for the experience of staying in one of their properties - and it didn't disappoint at all. Had a fantastic stay, from checking-in, to our spacious room, great coffee in the lobby bar, excellent food, all the way to checking-out. There was a slight delay in the hotel launch and our booking was affected, but the team were very helpful in moving our booking date - and even threw in a room upgrade which was a wonderful gesture. Definitely will be staying here again if I am ever in Brussels again in the future.
