New in 2022

While obviously it has been a very difficult year for the whole sector of events, still we could welcome the opening of some new interesting venues in Brussels.

Kanal Centre Pompidou As for the venues, we’ll have to wait until 2023 for the grand opening of the Belgian Beer Palace, with its rooftop, large main room and, of course, museum about Belgium’s speciality. In Kanal Centre Pompidou, they’re busy renovating for the big opening in 2024. As of May this year, you do have the possibility to rent the smaller space Key One by Kanal. The works at La Cambre Abbey are ongoing.

The Merode In the EU district, Stam Europa opened its doors for smaller meetings with connections to the European institutions, and closed business club Cercle de Lorraine was spectacularly renovated into the social club The Merode, which can be rented by its members for exclusive events.

Silversquare Cardo Brussels Hotel The Hoxton

Silversquare, which provides coworking spaces as well as meeting rooms designed by a different artist for each of their six locations, will soon open their seventh location in Brussels' North district. But the biggest news for Brussels’ MICE sector in 2022 is the opening of Cardo Brussels Hotel, Autograph Collection in Rogier with no less than 530 rooms, 13 meeting rooms, a rooftop bar, a Spanish food court, and a Japanese restaurant on the 30th floor. The Hoxton will open their first hotel close to the Botanique in between Brussels’ North district and the city centre. It’ll boast a rooftop terrace, 198 rooms and co-working spaces. It’s good to see that Brussels’ North district is evolving and becoming more and more of a draw for international visitors!
