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.

Scene
Collection of private apartments, with a central lobby in small storefront office near Grand Place
This collection of 100 private apartments is anchored in a main administrative lobby which is located in a building surrounded by shops, restaurants, and cafes. The lobby is an office-like affair, with drop ceilings, lime-green walls, brown carpeting, and some low-lying black leather couches. The buildings that house the apartments are scattered about the city center and range from stately 19th-century structures to stucco buildings built in the '70s, though the apartments themselves have a consistently contemporary aesthetic. While families constitute a large portion of the guests here, these are also a popular choice with younger groups of friends as the apartments are fairly close to a good nightlife district.
Location
Spread across a range of buildings, all within a 10-minute walk of Grand Place
The main office of the company is situated just off one of the major shopping streets leading into the Grand Place, which is about a four-minute walk away. The area is characterized by cobblestone streets, small boutiques, and restaurants. The apartments are scattered around the city center in various buildings, and most are within a 10-minute walk of the management location and close to sights, restaurants, and shops. The central Brussels train station is about a 10-minute walk away and gives access to the airport in about a half hour, though there are lots of other bus options nearby the cluster of apartments that also allow travel to the airport with a transfer (each option about an hour).
Rooms
Bright, contemporary apartments with stylish, spare decor and modern kitchens
The apartments, though individually styled, maintain a fairly consistent contemporary aesthetic. The spaces are filled with natural light and modern, spare decor. Linen-covered chairs and brushed-chrome bathroom fixtures are of the higher-end Ikea variety; kitchens often have a full chop-block wood counter surface. There are fun decorative touches in some of the apartments like hand-painted wall flourishes around a hanging clock. Bathrooms generally have walk-in showers, some with rainfall showerheads. All of the rooms have some version of a kitchen equipped with cooking and serving ware, a dishwasher, an electric kettle, a microwave, toaster, fridge, a four-burner electric stove, and coffeemaker. Street-facing rooms may receive unwanted noise in more popular nightlife areas.
Features
On-site parking at the Opera Residence only; free Wi-Fi throughout all properties
The Opera Residence offers on-site parking, which many of the other apartment buildings do not, and which is a rarity in the center of town. All of the apartments have free Wi-Fi.
