The Hoxton, Brussels
Saint-Josse-ten-Noode, Botanique; Saint-Josse-ten-Noode, Belgium
The Hoxton, Brussels brings a sociable, design-conscious hotel to the edge of the Botanical Gardens. Rooms occupy the tower’s upper floors, giving the accommodation broad city views, while seventies-inspired interiors use warm wood, graphic patterns and coloured velvet to establish a distinct mood. The public spaces are designed for more than passing through. Cantina Valentina presents a Peruvian-inspired menu, and Tope combines rooftop drinks with Mexican flavours and a panoramic setting. Working From_ adds a co-working component, making the property useful for visitors who want to mix a city break with a few productive hours. This is a particularly good fit for travellers who enjoy an active hotel lobby and prefer contemporary neighbourhood energy to a formal luxury environment. The setting lies just beyond the historic core in Saint-Josse-ten-Noode, with the gardens providing an immediate point of orientation. Its strongest appeal is the way rooms, food, work and rooftop social life are brought together in one coherent place.
