We love romantic and enchanting escapes
The Hoxton is a stunning retro-style 4* hotel in the heart of Brussels, close to the Botanical Gardens and North Station. The hotel houses 198 rooms, some with large round bathtubs, a Peruvian restaurant, a bar, a coworking space and a fabulous rooftop at the top.
We advise you to book your stay at The Hoxton via Booking.com, which often offers free cancellation. Send us a postcard if you go, we'd love it.
On site, you'll discover a large Brutalist-style tower like an arrow reaching for the sky. Check-in is from 2pm and check-out is possible until 12am, which is quite rare in Brussels. The team is young, dynamic and very welcoming. On your way in, admire the retro-style bar - it's like stepping back in time to the 70s!
Another thing we love: dogs are welcome at the Hoxton. An entire floor is reserved for dog-friendly rooms. Dog bowls and baskets available on request.
There are 192 rooms ranging from 24m² to 32m², divided into 3 categories: Cosy, Roomy and Biggy. All offer breathtaking views of Brussels. Vintage furnishings include striped headboards, graphic carpets and colorful bedside lamps.
Depending on the room you choose, you'll enjoy the following amenities: king-size bedding with divinely comfortable mattress (you won't be able to get out!), blackout blinds, bathroom with shower and/or large round bathtub, welcome products from Blank, vintage radio from Roberts, air conditioning, tea, coffee, water and fresh milk. Soundproofing is perfect.
Our tip: choose a Roomy "Bath" for a hot bath with a view of Brussels (great in the evenings when it's raining or snowing), or a Roomy "Corner" for a magnificent panoramic view of the city through large corner windows.
For your meals, you can choose between 2 places: Cantina Valentina, a Peruvian-inspired restaurant on the first floor, or Chez Tope, a cocktail bar on the rooftop with Mexican ambience and delicious cocktails. Cantina Valentin is where you'll enjoy your breakfast at map every morning. Here' s map for breakfast, map throughout the day and map for drinks.
The Hoxton is located in the heart of the Belgian capital, just a few minutes' walk from the Gare du Nord station. The Grand Place is just a 20-minute walk away. Our favorites: Ixelles and its art nouveau facades, the Châtelain district and its trendy restaurants, the Sablon district, the Marolles flea market on Sunday mornings and the Bois de la Cambre for a great walk.
We're a young team whose mission is to find the most beautiful places for a romantic escape. It could be a secret hotel, a unique hideway or a cabin in the woods, for example.
