Top choice in Brussels
This classy B&B has an incredible location right within the gorgeous (if reverberant) Galeries St-Hubert. Delectable decor styles include African, modernist and ‘Madame Loulou’ (with 1920s nude sketches). Larger front rooms have claw-foot bathtubs and galerie views, but can be noisy with clatter that continues all night. Get keys via the art deco-influenced Café du Vaudeville, where breakfast is included.
Vaudeville’s unique house beer is provided free in the minibar.
