Top 10 Upper Town Hotels of 2026

Unlikely what most people believe, Brussels has more to offer than administrative buildings and grey skies.

Brussels is a vibrant city and its visitors won't be dissappointed, as long as they know where to look for its beauties.

The architecture is (most of the times) stunning, the waffles are the best ones you will ever get to taste and the city's green parks will make you see why Brussels offers a good quality of life to its multicultural residents.

Don't forget that Brussels' Central Square (Grand Place) has been voted as Europe's most beautiful square.

Thon Hotel Bristol Stephanie

10/10 Excellent

"Centrally located, easy parking in the hotel garage, spacious and clean room with a comfortable bed."

The Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Situated in a convenient location to many sites of interest. Staff were welcoming, rooms had all the necessary amenities one would need during their stay for comfort and the highlight for me was their extensive breakfast buffet range in a cosy table setting. I would highly recommend The Hotel for anyone wishing to enjoy their time here in Brussels."

Pillows City Hotel Brussels Centre

10/10 Excellent

"If I could give this hotel 6 stars I would. The "experience" is everything you should expect when comfort, class, excellent service and quality meet cozy, quaint, elegant and welcoming, while rejecting ostentatious, pretentious and cold "luxury". I travelled solo for work (attending a conference over the weekend at ULB) and arrived a couple of days early to explore the city. My consistent litmus test for evaluating any hotel is: "Would I stay here again... voluntarily, on purpose?" Here's my answer: I WILL come back. I will visit Brussels JUST SO that I can spend 3 or 4 nights with my wife at this hotel and explore the city with it as our home base. The location is perfect: a 5 minute walk from train stations and the Grand Place. You can do a LOT of convenient "touristing" without long cab rides. The shower should be considered a sinful pleasure. The room includes welcome chocolates, a Nespresso machine with pods, and complimentary Aqua Panna bottles. The breakfast is out of this world amazing: 2 glorious coffee machines and a spread worthy of kings. The front desk, restaurant and overall service was genuinely helpful, caring, always professional and extremely welcoming. This hotel is a no brainer, best value, super enjoyable experience."
