Why we recommend it

Steigenberger Wiltcher's is the grande dame of the Avenue Louise, the elegant boulevard that forms the heart of Brussels' upscale shopping district. The hotel opened in 1913 and has changed its name several times over the years, but it has remained one of the city's best-known luxury addresses. A recent renovation has given it a chandelier-lit lobby and modernised guest rooms while keeping the sense of occasion that comes with a grand hotel.

With 225 rooms, it is a large property, and the range of rooms and suites suits everyone from business travellers to families. Rooms have been updated with contemporary comfort, air conditioning and free Wi-Fi, and the hotel offers wheelchair access. Check-in is from 15:00 and check-out is at 12:00.

Facilities are a strong point. The spa has an infinity pool, available for an extra fee, and there is a gym for guests who want to keep up their routine. For food and drink, the open-air La Terrasse is a pleasant spot in good weather, a library lounge offers a quieter setting, and Loui Bar serves drinks into the evening. Concierge service, parking, valet parking and electric vehicle charging add to the convenience.

The hotel suits shoppers, business travellers attending meetings in the city, and couples or families who want resort-style facilities in an urban setting. Its location on the Avenue Louise puts it among luxury boutiques and close to the residential streets of Ixelles, a quieter base than the busy old centre.

If you plan to use the spa, check the current fee and opening times when you book. The hotel's parking and electric vehicle charging make it a practical choice for visitors arriving by car, which is less common among central Brussels hotels.

The Avenue Louise is served by trams along the boulevard, and Louise metro station is at its northern end, linking the hotel quickly with the Royal Quarter, the Sablon and the old town. The Palais de Justice and the views from its terrace are a short walk away, as are the shops and restaurants of the Place Stéphanie and the Châtelain area. As Brussels is a busy business destination, hotel rates often vary between weekdays and weekends, so compare dates if your plans are flexible.
