Conrad Hotel, Brussels









It is a little while since I have stayed at this fine hotel, but I came across a few pictures of it while cleaning up my hard-drive, so said that I would share my opinions with you ....

The hotel is situated set back from a cross-roads, and close to lots of great shops, pubs and restaurants. Actually, there is a very high-end selection of shops located in a little boutique mall around the hotel, including one spectacular toy shop, and another yummy delicatessen!

The Conrad appears to be popular with the well-off of Brussels, as I lost count of the number of Porches, Ferraris, Bentleys etc. etc. that were parked there during my stay!

The lobby is very plush, and does give a very good impression of the hotel as a whole; and the check-in is an efficient and pleasant experience.















On entering, the room certainly proved no disappointment ! A large (comfortable) King-sized bed, bedecked in opulent finery ....




And lots of room to stretch out and relax on the setee or lounge chair too !


The bathroom didn't disappoint either, with Bath, separate shower, and marble everywhere ....

Views out over the rooftops of Brussels were also nice, and this set my wife and I up for a wonderful stay ....

Oh, and before I forget, the breakfast in the morning was delicious, with an extensive selection of furits, breads, cereals and cooked options. Enough food to feed a hungry farmer, as we say in this part of Ireland !!

I would compare the experience at the Conrad Brussels to that of the Conrad Dublin - both keep very high (and consistent) standards, and I would have no hesitation in returning to either!
