This is Brussels calling

Brussels is the thriving centre of Europe, and SQUARE is right in the heart of it. We're just a short stroll from all of the historic city's major attractions with over 13,000 hotel rooms just around the corner, plus the pick of the city's restaurants, bars, and shops.

Brussels is home to the European Commission, Parliament and NATO, a buzzing, influential city where history is made. The city is a key European commercial hub too, a base for many progressive international companies.

But more than that, Brussels is a compact city, friendly, positive, cosmopolitan, easy to get around. Eating out plays a significant part in Belgian life ? along with the celebrated local cuisine, there are restaurants representing every corner of the globe. Nightlife is lively, with plenty of concerts, bars and clubs, theatre and dance ? something for everyone. For a major European capital, Brussels is surprisingly eco-friendly too, peppered with parks and green spaces.

A walk through Brussels takes you through a potted architectural history, from ancient medieval buildings to strikingly modern edifices, taking in the Art Nouveau stylings of illustrious architect Victor Horta along the way. With official sanction, huge walls in the city are covered in bright murals, outsize homages to the country's many comic book heroes, including Tintin, Lucky Luke, Largo Winch and the Smurfs.

And you'll find SQUARE, an architectural landmark in its own right, in the vibrant Mont des Arts cultural quarter in the heart of Brussels. It sits easily among the city's major museums and art galleries, including the recently opened Magritte Museum, devoted to the country's master of surrealism. All the major shops and tourist attractions are just a short stroll away, and there are plenty of good hotels to choose from in the neighbourhood. SQUARE is situated in front of the Central Station, handy for the international airport and train connections.
