In May this year we stayed in style in the fantastic five-star Hotel Metropole.
Not only is the Metropole located right in the historic centre of Brussels, literally a five minute walk from the Grand Place and nearby alfresco restaurants, it also offers all the ambience of a luxurious hotel.
The interior decoration is a mix of Rennaissance, Empire and Art Deco styles and the facade and ground floor are under protection by the Local Council of Monuments and Sights.
After a round of sight seeing and a sample of the local speciality of Mussels served with Chips we were able to wind down in Metropole's own sidewalk cafe/bar and watch the world go by knowing our bed was only a lift ride away.
And best of all it was a bargain at £65 for a double room booked last minute through otel.com. If you want a great day and night out I can only recommend staying in the Metropole in Brussels. After all it is only a train ride away from London!
