A Remarkable Hotel Transformation in Brussels

Oct 9, 2020

Radisson Hotel Group is proud to announce the opening of the first Radisson Collection hotel in Belgium and Brussels, the heart of the European Union.

The opening of the flagship Radisson Collection Hotel, Grand Place Brussels follows a remarkable transformation of the hotel, with significant investment to upgrade the former Radisson Blu Royal Hotel. Radisson Collection is Radisson Hotel Group’s premium lifestyle brand reserved for its most outstanding luxury properties, offering unique guest experiences, exceptional interior design, personalized services and comprehensive guest amenities.

The 282 rooms and public spaces were completely renovated and redesigned in partnership with Rafael de La Hoz, one of the world’s most prestigious and longest-standing architecture firms, committed to design excellence, innovation and sustainability. The Radisson Collection Hotel, Grand Place Brussels features two elegant restaurants offering modern grilled dishes and Chinese specialties, 18 contemporary meeting spaces, an Executive Lounge, a Presidential Suite and a fitness center.

Famed for its glass-crowned, seven-story atrium and post-modernist architecture, the hotel’s distinctive design harks back to the hotel’s opening in 1989. The sophisticated and stylish new design reflects the hotel’s location, and offers the template for contemporary lifestyle living, united by modern design and exceptional experiences.

Federico J. González, CEO, Radisson Hotel Group, said: “Brussels is the perfect location for our Belgian debut of the Radisson Collection brand. It is the center of the European Union and remains the world’s first choice for international congresses or business meetings, with unparalleled international character. We look forward to hosting guests from around the world at this iconic, newly transformed property and welcoming them to the exceptional.”

For Philippe Close, Mayor of the City of Brussels “the opening of the Radisson Collection Hotel, Grand Place Brussels highlights the importance of Brussels as a dynamic and attractive city for savvy business and leisure travelers.”
