Hôtel Amigo
Refined Belgian art hotel with a quiet wit — contemporary Italian sensibility layered over Flemish tradition, packed with Belgian cultural references from Tintin to Diane von Furstenberg. Formal enough for EU summits, characterful enough for a romantic weekend.
Book a Town Hall- or Grand-Place-facing suite if possible — rooms on those sides have the views. Courtyard rooms are quieter but miss the drama.
Why It Matters
Rated #1 Hotel in Belgium by U.S. News & World Report 2025. One of only a handful of five-star properties in Brussels, with an unmatched location steps from the Grand-Place and the added distinction of housing Bar Magritte — reportedly the only bar in the world dedicated to the surrealist artist — plus Ristorante Bocconi, consistently ranked among Brussels' best Italian restaurants.
Once a 16th-century Spanish prison — the name 'Amigo' is a linguistic accident, the Spanish rulers mishearing the Flemish word for 'prison' as 'friend' — this Spanish Renaissance building a cobblestone's throw from the Grand-Place is now Rocco Forte's Belgian flagship. Designer Olga Polizzi gave the interiors a clean-lined elegance: Belgian linens, embroidered silk curtains, original Magritte lithographs, Hergé prints, and Pierre Marcolini chocolates on arrival. It's the kind of place where presidents stay, film stars linger in Bar Magritte, and the concierge has been known to handwrite city notes for guests.
Where You'll Stay
15 room types available
Blaton Suite
The hotel's crown jewel. Top-floor suite with its own private outdoor terrace fitted with sun loungers and a dining area — rare in central Brussels. Panoramic views sweep over the city rooftops and the UNESCO-listed City Hall. If budget allows, this is the one.
King · 180 sqmBlaton Two Bedroom Suite
The largest accommodation at Hotel Amigo. Two king bedrooms across 212 sqm with panoramic city views. Indulgent doesn't quite cover it.
Two Kings · 212 sqmClassic Room
The entry-level category at Hôtel Amigo, and still thoroughly considered. Courtyard-facing, which keeps noise to a minimum. Elegant rather than spacious — if you're spending long hours in the room you'll want to upgrade, but for a Grand-Place city break they work well.
King (can be twinned) · 28 sqmClassic Suite
Contemporary in style, Belgian in spirit. A wide array of art on display. Courtyard and city view options at this tier. A proper suite with separate living and sleeping areas.
King (can be twinned) · 65 sqmDeluxe Junior Suite
A uniquely bright, light-filled space with a richly art-decorated living room. The jump in size from the standard Junior Suite is substantial — 60 sqm is comfortable for a multi-night stay.
King (can be twinned) · 60 sqmDeluxe Room
Richly decorated with artworks that lean into Belgian artistic heritage — Magritte-inspired carved wooden apples, Hergé prints. Street-facing, so you get city views and a bit more animation. Four extra square metres over the Classic.
King (can be twinned) · 32 sqmDiane von Furstenberg Suite
A bold homage to the Belgian fashion icon. Features hand-picked pieces signed by Diane von Furstenberg herself, a zebra rug, and two framed silk scarves by Andy Warhol. Town Hall views.
King (can be twinned) · 80 sqm
Family Room
Two spacious interconnecting Classic Rooms making 56 sqm total. Sleeps up to 4 adults. Courtyard or city view. The practical choice for a family city break.
King (can be twinned) · 56 sqmFamily Suite
107 sqm of proper suite comfort for a family, with Grand-Place or Town Hall views. The upgrade over the Family Room for those who want the full suite experience while travelling with children.
King (can be twinned) · 107 sqmJunior Suite
Generous proportions by Brussels standards with a separate living area. Belgian artistic heritage woven through the decor. Courtyard or city views.
King (can be twinned) · 40 sqmPresidential Suite
Original Magritte lithographs throughout, themed espresso cups at the bar in the inviting terracotta-coloured entranceway, and Town Hall views. At 110 sqm it's substantial, but the Blaton Suite above it has the outdoor terrace.
King · 110 sqmPrestige Suite
Stylish and serene, with a verdant arboreal theme winding through the decor. These are some of the best views in the hotel — Town Hall and Grand-Place facing.
King (can be twinned) · 75 sqmSuperior Deluxe Room
Combines exotic textiles with fine metalwork and local art. Courtyard or city view options. The extra space over the Deluxe Room starts to feel noticeable.
King (can be twinned) · 36 sqmThree Bedroom Family Junior Suite
Three bedrooms across 112 sqm, sleeping up to 6 adults. City view. The largest flexible option for bigger families or groups.
King (can be twinned) · 112 sqmTintin Suite
A genuinely special room for Hergé fans of all ages. Every artwork, book, and print was hand-picked by Tintinimaginatio, the official Hergé Foundation — including a drawing signed by Steven Spielberg during the Tintin film launch when he stayed here. Town Hall views.
