History
The hotel was built in 1909 for the Brussels World's Fair (1910), at the request of King Leopold II. It was designed by the famous architect Henri Van Dievoet (1869–1931), a nephew of Joseph Poelaert. Built in a true Parisian spirit, the hotel's Louis XVI facade and majestic interior lend it a distinctly aristocratic appearance. It is considered among the finest luxury hotels in the world.
