The Dominican

Historic urban sanctuary.
Tucked behind Brussels' famed opera house and a short walk from Grand Place, The Dominican pairs contemporary design with subtle references to the former abbey that once occupied the site. The atmosphere feels quietly removed from the city's bustle, making it well suited to travelers who want culture, dining, and landmarks within easy reach.
Insider Tip

Wake up early one morning and stroll through the nearby Galeries Royales Saint-Hubert before the shops open and the crowds arrive. Return to The Dominican afterward for breakfast—the contrast between the city's grand 19th-century architecture and the hotel's calm, contemporary atmosphere is part of what makes a stay here memorable.

Where You’re Staying

Rooms and suites draw on the property's monastic heritage through rich textures, arch-inspired details, and a muted palette. Courtyard rooms offer a quieter setting, while split-level Loft accommodations overlook the opera house. Quality touches like king beds, rain showers, Dyson hairdryers, and Nespresso machines lend a comfortable residential feel.

Where to Dine

The Grand Lounge anchors the hotel's dining scene with breakfast, lunch, and dinner served in a dramatic space framed by tall windows and intricate metalwork. Expect dishes such as lobster ravioli, Belgian-inspired fare, and premium steaks in a setting that shifts seamlessly from morning coffee to evening dining. Settle into the adjacent bar or courtyard for an intimate cocktail and light bites.

Where to Relax

After a day exploring Brussels, retreat to the hotel's inner courtyard, a leafy pocket tucked away from the surrounding streets. Wellness facilities include a gym, sauna, steam bath, and even a dedicated boxing room, offering both restorative and active ways to unwind.

What to Do

Walk to Grand Place, browse the boutiques beneath the glass-roofed Galeries Royales Saint-Hubert, or catch a performance at the neighboring Théâtre Royal de la Monnaie. Visit the nearby Horta Museum, housed in the former home and studio of Art Nouveau architect Victor Horta. The hotel's central location makes exploring Brussels' historic center easy on foot.
