Ask around the local hospitality scene and Renaissance Brussels Hotel keeps surfacing. A four-star in Elsene / Ixelles that has been gathering momentum lately. Geographically speaking it's a short ride from the main sights, and the reasonable location rating in guest reviews backs that up. Rooms feel well-appointed; the touches travellers mention most are an in-house restaurant and reliable wi-fi, and the comfort feedback has been consistently flattering. There's a particular atmosphere to the place, neither overdesigned nor neglected. With well over 1,400 reviews on the books and a solid average, the reception from guests does most of the talking here. Reputation has held up across enough stays to mean something. Expect to pay something in the region of €119 a night, a middle-of-the-road entry on the board, especially when stacked against nearby alternatives. Stack Renaissance Brussels Hotel against the better-known names in Brussels and the trade-offs become genuinely interesting.
