The Radisson Blu Royal Hotel wins for its 'belgitude'
Located a stone's throw away from the Grand Place, you really can't get more central than the Radisson Blu Royal Hotel Brussels. As the winner for Belgium's Leading Hotel 2018, it is the hotel's particular attention to providing guests with a true experience of the locale that stands out. This “Belgitude” is honored in the entire meeting spaces through stylish design and touches which pay tribute to the country. The meeting rooms’ ceilings for example echo the blue skies in the famous Magritte paintings with wallpaper designed by Fornassetti who, like Magritte, shares the taste for dream-inspired design. Belgian products are put in the spotlight as well: delicious local delights such as tomatoes stuffed with grey shrimp from North Sea, Cuberdons & Belgian chocolate.
