DINING
|
|
L’Alban Chambon - Italian baroque decor and classical but daring French cuisine have made L’Alban Chambon one of the most celebrated restaurants in Brussels. The gastronomic restaurant serves lunch and dinner, with dishes including risotto of Saint-Jacques scallops and wild boar in a crust of sesame seeds. The wine list is suitably extensive. Café Metropole - Accessed either via the hotel or its own on-street entrance, this buzzing café is a popular haunt for locals and guests alike. While the interior design is as flamboyant as the hotel, a wide range of more moderately priced meals and patisserie is served. The heated, canopied terrace at the front entrance is warm enough for alfresco dining, even in winter months. Excelsior Lounge -A full buffet breakfast is served in the marble splendor of the Excelsior Lounge. Situated in the lobby area, its dark wood furniture complements leather chairs in burgundy and racing green.

AMENITIES & SERVICES
|
|
What to expect: Swathes of bronze marble, enormous chandeliers and gold columns create a flamboyant entrance to this glamorous hotel. Built in 1895, it is the oldest hotel in Brussels and decorated to enhance its original splendor. Soft leather chairs, gentle lighting and large ferns invite tourists and businesspeople to relax in the lounge area. Amenity highlights: A complete facelift in 2002 transformed the dining room of the L’Alban Chambon restaurant into one of the city’s most romantic restaurants. The spectacular stained glass windows have been preserved while the extravagant interior décor of ochre marble and gold columns has been made lighter and airier with the introduction of parquet floors. The bar area, situated in the lobby, serves fine wine and champagne in a relaxed setting. Insider tip: The nearby Parc de Bruxelles provides a perfect setting for a romantic stroll. Some of Brussels’ most opulent buildings are clustered around this formal park created in the 1870s, with poker-straight tree-lined avenues and a central fountain.
