3 Best Hotels in Cinquantenaire and Schuman, Brussels

This little bed-and-breakfast was a shell when owner Laurent took it on—he rebuilt the workshop at the end of the garden and then turned it into two rooms, installed a glass corridor leading to them, and huge patio doors in the breakfast room and the result is a light, airy, modern-looking B&B with an owner who usually finds a solution to whatever problem you have. Snacks decorate the communal area (if you're peckish) and the buffet breakfast makes the most of local producers. Best of all, you're just a street away from Parc du Cinquantenaire.

A business hotel that wants to be just that little bit cooler than the rest; granted its design is a little industrial in places, but this slick offering has large, loft-like rooms, a fun bar area, a fitness center, and a small café area clearly geared to tempt those whose business meetings ran over. You can play foosball or pool in the lobby, and a general air of professionalism runs throughout. An always reliable stay.
