Radiant elegance is the theme at the newly opened Corinthia Brussels, part of the Corinthia Hotels luxury group. Located in the former Grand Hotel Astoria and featuring Belle Époque style, this completely renovated property offers a selection of dining concepts, 126 rooms and suites, and a tranquil subterranean spa complex.
“The reopening of Corinthia Brussels marks an exciting chapter for both our brand and the city,” said Simon Casson, CEO, Corinthia Hotels. “This project isn’t just about restoring a hotel — it’s about redefining what luxury hospitality can be. By collaborating with some of Belgium’s most forward-thinking craftspeople and gastronomic minds, we’re challenging conventions and creating something truly special. We look forward to welcoming guests to experience this new era and to discover a space where heritage and innovation meet.”
Positioned on Rue Royale in Notre Dame aux Neiges, the landmark structure dates to 1910. Designed by Henri Van Dievoet to be worthy lodging for guests of the then-King, it includes the fabulous Palm Court with a soaring stained-glass skylight. Fully restored under the skilled direction of Belgian architect Francis Metzger, the Palm Court space sets the mood for the lavish guest spaces beyond.
MICHELIN-starred Belgian chefs David Martin and Christophe Hardiquest are the talents behind dining venues Le Petit Bon Bon and Palais Royal. Guests can choose from modern interpretations of Belgian classics or savor French cuisine with a Japanese influence. Celebrated Belgian mixologist Hannah Van Ongevalle adds to the glamour with Under the Stairs, her first solo bar concept.
In the expansive spa, private treatment rooms, a sauna and experience showers are augmented with a refined tea room. Guests can book fitness sessions with a former British Army training instructor; or shop at Costume, the on-site concept store where goods include choices from Maison La Collection and Daniel Ost.
