The 149-room Radisson Red Brussels is a funky upscale property situated near the European Parliament and close to public transportation. As part of Radisson's newer Red brand, it features ultra-modern, hip design with colorful comics and art throughout. The lobby and events spaces are open and designed to be interactive and social. Rooms feature bright details like red-and-black graphics, with high-tech features such as smartphone apps, multiple USB ports, and streaming wireless services for easy connectivity. The restaurant and bar are open all day, and there's a small fitness center with a sauna. Travelers looking for something more conservative in this area could check out the Renaissance Brussels Hotel, which has an indoor swimming pool.

From the mid-1930s until 2010, Le Berger operated as a "rendez-vous" hotel -- a meeting place for lovers. In 2012, it was renovated into a conventional mid-range hotel, but it retained much of its original romantic style, adding a second building in 2013. Most of the hotel's 66 rooms are small -- some even tiny -- and there are no desks, mini-fridges, or coffeemakers, and storage space is scarce. But but they're charming all the same, with flat-screen TVs and free Wi-Fi. The hotel has a nice Italian restaurant, an outdoor terrace, a bar, and a daily breakfast buffet (for a fee). And the location is a 15- to 20-minute walk to most tourist sights. Travelers seeking a romantic hotel could also consider Made in Louise, an airier spot but without the same historic charm.

The Renaissance Brussels Hotel is an upscale, 262-room business-oriented property set in the center of the city's European Quarter -- with easy access to all the European Union institutions. Rooms are modern and chain-like, though there's a fee for in-room Wi-Fi and the lack of stocked minibars is a shortcoming. A heated indoor pool is a real bonus and drivers will find on-site parking particularly useful in this part of town. All in all, it's a solid option for those with business in the area, though for a little more character compare with the nearby Stanhope Hotel or Made in Louise. Leisure travelers may find the location a bit too far from tourist sights such as The Grand Place.

This charming hotel has a cozy bed-and-breakfast vibe. The 111 rooms include suites and apartments in various sizes for singles, families, and business guests. They are simple and functional in design with a muted color scheme of white and taupe, while some suites are decorated with cottage-like accents such as plaid furniture and four-poster beds. The hotel is located in Ixelles and near the European Quarter, within a 15-minute walk of many sights; comparable hotels right in the center tend to be only slightly more expensive. There are multiple restaurants including the breakfast room, solarium, and Leopold Bar; room service is available. Just note that some rooms experience street noise, and Standard Rooms are tiny.

Located on a chic avenue in the Euro-centric Ixelles neighborhood, this modern 142-room, four-pearl property maintains the high standards guests expect from the Thon brand, a small but well-respected Norwegian-based chain. During the week, the hotel fills with business travelers, many of whom take advantage of its high-tech meeting facilities. Yet vacationers are also drawn by reasonable rates, a convenient address, and stylish, surprisingly large rooms. On-site perks like a fine bistro-style restaurant and fitness center with sauna help seal the deal. Those preferring a historic setting should try the luxe Stanhope, a nearby sister hotel.

The 48 guest rooms in this early 20th-century building built around a spiral staircase are individually decorated with tasteful, modern decor consisting of gray-and-white palettes or splashes of color with contemporary textiles.
