Scene
Chain hotel with contemporary decor, popular with repeat business guests
This chain hotel from the Sheraton brand features simple, contemporary interiors that, though a bit bland, are cozy and inviting, with a relaxed and friendly atmosphere that attracts mostly business travelers, many of which are repeat guests. The open-plan lobby features a handful of black leather armchairs and extends to the cozy and elegant lobby bar, which is similarly furnished with comfortable black leather seating, red accents, and an atmospheric bar scene wall mural. The adjacent restaurant is a sunlit, airy space illuminated by an atrium ceiling, with a large potted tree at its center that lends a fresh and lovely touch.
Location
Located just off the busy Avenue Louise and well serviced by public transportation
The hotel is situated on a quiet road lined with attractive, residential brick apartment buildings in the typically French-Belgian style. The road is just off the bustling Avenue Louise, a prestigious street full of designer shops, posh boutiques, restaurants, and cafes, which gives quick road access to the parliamentary and business districts. There are several bus and tram stops a short walk from the hotel, which give access to the city center in about 20 minutes. The Grand Place is about 25 minutes away via public transportation, and the airport is about one hour, or a 20-minute drive.
Rooms
Simple, clean rooms with flat-screen TVs and coffee/tea facilities; some signs of wear and tear
Besides the occasional complaint about rickety fixtures or the details needing a coat of paint, the rooms here are clean and simple. Track and recessed lighting add atmosphere to a plain layout that includes industrial wall-to-wall carpeting and contemporary furnishings. All rooms have work desks, flat-screen TVs, coffee/tea facilities, and free Wi-Fi; larger Deluxe Rooms add iPod docks, bathrobes, and slippers. Bathrooms are standard, with shower/tub combos and toiletries provided. Some rooms have been recently renovated and may have more updated furnishings than others.
Features
Restaurant and lobby bar, rooftop garden, fitness center with dry sauna, and three meeting rooms
The hotel's Root Market restaurant, added in January 2017, serves a variety of dishes for lunch and dinner, including some Belgian classics, as well as breakfast, available for an added charge. There's also a lobby bar that has a good selection of local, regional, and imported beers as well as wines. Room service is available, though not 24-hours. The fitness room is equipped with a handful of machines and there's a separate weight room plus a sauna and relaxation area. There's also a large garden spanning the entire surface area of the roof, with trees, bushes, and plants, which is available for events. Three meeting rooms can accommodate up to 100 people.
