A late 19th-century historic landmark in Brussels, the 286-room Hotel Metropole is best suited to guests wanting to experience a bit of antique grandeur -- and who are willing to pay for it. With glamorous meeting facilities, a fine dining restaurant with old world elegance, a fitness center, and full concierge service -- not to mention a central location within a 10-minute walk of Grand Place and lots of shopping -- this upscale property is ideal for both business guests and tourists. Although the carpet is worn in places and some rooms could stand to be updated, the hotel offers lovely guest rooms with window-side seating nooks, and large suites with incredible bathrooms.

Hotel Saint Nicholas is a standard mid-range chain hotel within walking distance of several of Brussels' major sights. Its 60 rooms are clean and modern, with a minimal brown-dominated decor and flat-screen TVs, but no air-conditioning. Amenities are limited and include a breakfast buffet (for a fee), but no parking, gym, restaurant, or bar. Prices are decent for a central hotel, though travelers might want to compare rates with the Bedford Hotel & Congress Centre, which has an on-site restaurant, gym, bar, meeting rooms, and rooms with mini-fridges.

The Sheraton Brussels Hotel is an upper-middle-range, 511-room business-oriented property on the edge of the capital's financial district. Its location also means easy access to transport links to both the airport and the city's tourist center. Traditionally styled rooms are dated, but have flat-screen TVs and great views from those on the higher floors. There's an indoor rooftop pool, with cityscape panoramas that are the real showstopper. Two restaurants, a bar, spa, and modern fitness center are additional amenities. Wi-Fi comes with a fee though, so travelers seeking free access -- and more stylish rooms -- should check out the similarly priced Radisson Blu Royal Hotel.

The mid-range ApartmentsApart Brussels is a collection of 100 private apartments in the city center that are housed in a range of buildings, most situated within a short walk of Grand Place. Though individually decorated, all feature a similar contemporary style characterized by fun details like wall-painted decorations, lots of natural light due to large windows, and simple, Nordic-inspired furniture, as well as spacious living rooms and full kitchens. The buildings generally lack elevators, however, and the company imposes a late check-in fee for guests arriving late at night. Travelers seeking apartments, but with a more traditional hotel experience, might want to consider Marriott Executive Apartments Brussels, European Quarter instead.
