McGallery | Invisible luxury & local approach ‘la Belgitude’
Vieri Biticchi, General Manager of Le Louise Hotel Brussels: “MGallery embraces ‘Invisible Luxury’, a constant but discreet attention to detail, service and ‘personal touch’. All in a modern and elegant setting. The hospitality of our experienced team combined with their local approach – ‘la Belgitude’ – is what makes us unique. It allows us to offer guests service of the highest level, making every stay unforgettable.”
Le Louise Hotel Brussels – MGallery is a tribute to the city. The hotel’s logo is inspired by the curves of Brussels’ floral Art Nouveau. The name of the hotel is a reference to its location: the famous Avenue Louise. The famous main street, named after Princess Louise, is a hotspot for fashion and a bustling street known for the large number of mansions in the Haussmann and Art Nouveau style. The hotel has a perfect location: within walking distance of the historic centre, museums and other attractions of Brussels. From any part of the city, the hotel is easily reached by public transport, whether by metro, streetcar or train. Set around a central and bright courtyard garden, the hotel features a restaurant and a bar with a large outdoor terrace. The 159 rooms and 10 suites have breath-taking views of the park and Avenue de la Toison d’Or. The homely atmosphere adds to its unique character. In addition to the great location and elegant atmosphere of the Le Louise Hotel Brussels, Mariano Van Cleve is the hotel’s concierge and also honorary president of Les Clefs d’Or for Belgium, guaranteeing an unforgettable stay and excellent local knowledge.
Le Louise Hotel Brussels | Restaurant & Bar
The restaurant and also wine bar Maison Louise is the place for every foodie to enjoy the best of Belgian gastronomy. Renowned chef Isabelle Arpin has created a menu that combines the beauty and flavor of gardens from around the world with a culinary twist and a unique feminine touch. The Mister Blue bar is jazz themed and offers the possibility of hosting musical events such as DJ performances or live music: a place to discover and enjoy the creative vibe of the city. Green spaces are important in Brussels and so is Le Louise: the interior terrace and garden offer air and freedom and the chance to touch and relax with nature – right in the middle of the hippest district in Brussels.
