Corinthia Grand Hotel Astoria

Beautifully restored rooms and suites balance early 20th-century grandeur with present-day comforts. Expect high ceilings, intricate moldings, and plush furnishings. There’s a hand-painted stained-glass roof in the Palm Court, and lots of marble, gold leaf accents, and chandeliers. Select accommodations offer wrap-around terraces and views of Brussels' vibrant cityscape, steps from the capital’s cultural treasures.

The hotel’s fine-dining restaurant Palais Royal brings a creative tasting menu inspired by the flavors of Belgium, Japan, and France. Its luxury brasserie Le Petit Bon Bon is a sleek, open-kitchen setting featuring Belgian classics like shrimp fritters and vol-au-vent. Savor a craft cocktail at the atmospheric Under The Stairs bar. In the Palm Court lobby, a trolley of treats awaits for afternoon tea.

An underground level was designed for the hotel’s expansive Sisley spa, a serene destination in partnership with the French cosmetics brand. Relax in the sauna and steam room or heated vitality pool, or indulge in a wellness treatment. This haven of well-being was designed to ensure that guests depart feeling balanced, refreshed, and petal-soft. A fitness center offers personal training services.

The Rue Royale location is prime for exploring the city’s cultural attractions. It’s less than a half-mile from the Royal Palace and a short walk to the Comics Art Museum and the Botanical Gardens. Take advantage of hotel programming like Astoria Concerts, a music series founded more than fifty years ago that continues to celebrate the city’s musical heritage. Shop for high-end textiles and tableware at the Belgian artisanal boutique, Coutume.
