The hotel offers 126 rooms, including 31 suites and 5 signature suites, combining classic elegance with contemporary comfort. Highlights include the Palm Court with its restored glass roof, two fine-dining restaurants led by Michelin-starred chefs, a 1,200 m² Sisley spa, and the Coutume concept store showcasing Belgian design.
Following a meticulous restoration, Corinthia Brussels will marry the classical elegance of its storied past with sophisticated modern facilities including 126 rooms and suites, a gastronomic restaurant and brasserie, and 1000 square metres of wellness. Catering to discerning locals and luxury travellers, Corinthia Brussels will harmonise heritage with an avant-garde attitude.
