The Warwick Brussels is a luxury landmark hotel located right in Brussels' city center, just a two-minute walk to Central Station and Grand Place. The hotel has a restaurant and bar, as well as a fitness center, sauna, and meeting facilities, though it lacks other features commonly found in luxury properties like a spa or pool. Its 267 rooms and 16 suites are equipped with all the amenities expected of a luxury hotel, including flat-screen TVs, minibars, coffeemakers, marble bathrooms, and 24-hour room service. Upper-category rooms have luxurious extras like Nespresso machines. However, past guests have complained of street noise, thin walls, poor maintenance, and signs of wear and tear. Potential guests should note that the hotel is scheduled for rebranding in 2016. Travelers may prefer the Rocco Forte Hotel Amigo, which has a fresher, more up-to-date look.

Scene
A landmark hotel with classic decor
The red brick Flemish-style facade of the landmark Warwick Brussels occupies a large section of a central cobblestone street. The lobby area is vast and inviting, with low ceilings and classic decor that includes wood-paneled walls and sleek, tiled floors. A long reception counter is illuminated by elegant table lamps, and there's plenty of seating courtesy of velvet armchairs and leather sofas clustered around small tables. A few tasteful flower arrangements add a subdued and refined touch to the space. Most guests who choose to stay here are couples visiting Brussels on a city getaway, but the hotel also gets a fair share of business travelers. The hotel also caters specially to Arab guests, with a wide range of Arabic cable TV channels available and halal food options in the breakfast buffet and room service menu.

The city's best known landmark, the beautiful medieval Grand Place square, is also just a two-minute walk from the hotel. There are many cafes, bars, restaurants, and chocolate shops in the immediate vicinity, and a nightclub is located just across the street from the hotel.- Two-minute walk to Central Station
