We booked a five star hotel last summer for our ruby wedding anniversary, but when we arrived we were disappointed with it. So we walked round the corner to the Meridien to see if they had vacancies.
The manager showed us to a beautiful room and it was at this point that we explained about moving hotels to make our anniversary special.
When we fetched our cases and went up to reception to collect our keys, the receptionists were very welcoming and handed us the keys to a penthouse suite! This was really beautiful and had views right across Brussels.
On our actual anniversary we had champagne and chocolates from the hotel management.
What a brilliant hotel!
