Hidden Belgium: Hoxton Hotel

Hidden Belgium: Hoxton Hotel

The stylish Hoxton Hotel in Brussels brings an East London vibe to a 1970s modernist tower.

Located next to the old botanical gardens, the landmark building once served as IBM’s European headquarters.

The airy lobby has a fun retro look with a barista coffee bar looking out on the botanical gardens.

A Peruvian restaurant adds to the cosmopolitan mood while the rooftop bar is the perfect spot to wind up the day.
