Great Hotels of the World member Thon Hotel Brussels City Centre has recently completed major refurbishment to its restaurant and lobby area. The formerly classic decor of Thon Hotels Brussels largest property has been updated to offer a more modern and refreshing look, using bright colours and unique furniture to welcome its guests. Norwegian designer Trond Ramsoskar has created the new concept based on the celebration of light, serenity and modernity, yet continues to encompass the luxury benefits of a four-star hotel. The hotel has searched for a design that caters to various group sizes and still has a vibrant atmosphere. The bar has also benefitted from a major cutting-edge makeover. The contemporary design has been implemented in order to further entice both the general public and guests to sample the wide selection of local beers and other specialities on offer. Furthermore, the current concept enables the hotel to conduct a variety of events with the option to include or exclude the bar, cordon off separate areas and cater for multiple buffets and displays.

Executive Manager Frank Hoonings comments: “I am extremely pleased that our aim to give the restaurant and bar a complete new look to the hotel overall has been met. The colourful and fresh style invites guests to sit back and enjoy their surroundings, being a hotel situated right in the heart of the city.”

Thon Hotel Brussels City Centre is situated in the centre of the European Capital, next to the Belgian Government area and the European district. The hotel boasts 454 bedrooms and 17 meeting rooms, with capacity for up to 400 guests. The property features a restaurant, bar and relaxation centre on the top floor, complete with a fitness room and a sauna with stunning views over the city.
