Guests will immediately be impressed as they enter the stylish lobby, conceived by award-winning hotel designer Saar Zafrir.

Easy access The President Brussels Hotel could not be better placed in terms of accessibility. It is only 500 metres from Bruxelles-Nord railway station — where you can catch a direct train to the airport in ten minutes. Meanwhile, the Bruxelles-Midi station, which is served by Eurostar, is just a 15-minute drive away, or ten minutes away by train. Travellers arriving by car will be pleased to know the hotel has a private car park complete with two Tesla chargers. “We’re located right at the entrance of the city, so you avoid all the traffic in the centre,” explains Nicoletta Kostis, director of sales and marketing.
The city’s many business and exhibition centres are in close proximity of the hotel, while metro stations are within walking distance. For those looking to explore Brussels’ many tourist attractions, hotspots such as the worldfamous Grand Place, the Atomium and BOZAR are within easy reach, as is the Tour & Taxis cultural area.
