Just one step from the famous Grand’Place, the red brick façade of the hotel built in Spanish Renaissance style, fits perfectly into the architectural past and present of its surroundings. Historic artefacts displayed on the premises include canvases from famous artists such as Courtens, Dansaert and Wagemans together with paintings by the Dutch and Italian schools. Flemish wall tapestries from the 18th century and the authentic paving stones in the lobby, which were originally used in the surrounding streets, help create the special charm and character of this place. Hotel Amigo’s 154 rooms and 19 suites have been completely refurbished by Olga Polizzi in a contemporary style. All of the bedrooms and suites are extremely comfortable with modern furniture and soft natural hues enhanced with touches of red, blue and green. Good-sized bathrooms contain mosaic details in red or green to match their marble vanity tops, and figures of Hergé’s characters Tintin, Snowy the dog and Captain Haddock enliven the walls with a touch of humour. Ristorante Bocconi Awarded “The Best Italian Restaurant of Brussels” by Delta in 2007 the Bocconi is popular with locals, guests and celebrities alike as it offers a relaxed and sophisticated escape from the hustle and bustle of the surrounding streets for a light lunch or gastronomic dinner.
