The Dominican Hotel
“ Having painstakingly restored the facade of this beautiful building the results are unquestionable. A very contemporary, chic establishment with outstanding attention to detail. The lift music is questionable though! ”
Simon - Jun 2008
“ My personal favourite hotel in Brussels, a wonderfully contemporary hotel with its grand history dutifully preserved. Don't be put of by the Dominican chanting in the lift! ”
Gareth - Apr 2009
