Hotel Des Galeries – A Favorite for Families in Brussels

The hotel offers soundproofed rooms with hardwood floors and air conditioning, plus a concierge service for local recommendations. Express check-in/check-out and luggage storage are available for guests arriving early or departing late. Daily housekeeping and multilingual staff assist with reservations, including ice buckets delivered upon request for injuries.

Hotel Des Galeries provides queen suites and duplex suites accessed via a special footbridge over the rooftops, offering split-level living with a bedroom upstairs and living area downstairs. Each room includes a dressing room, hardwood floors, and a Nespresso coffee machine, with en-suite bathrooms featuring a bath, shower, bathrobe, and free toiletries. Some rooms overlook the bustling Galeries Royales Saint-Hubert, while top-floor rooms offer quiet views of the arcade glass roof.

The on-site French-Belgian restaurant is run by a Michelin-starred chef, offering a gourmet dining experience within the hotel. A breakfast buffet with high-quality local products such as ham, cheese, yogurt, fresh juice, and cooked eggs is served in a bright courtyard patio. Guests can also purchase Maison Dandoy waffles and cookies from the shop adjacent to the hotel entrance.

The hotel sits 2 minutes on foot from Grand Place and Manneken Pis, inside the covered Galeries Royales Saint-Hubert arcade. Brussels-Central Train Station is a 5-minute walk, providing direct connections to Eurostar, TGV, and Thalys services. The pedestrian-only zone means taxis cannot access the street after 8:30 AM, but the hotel is surrounded by chocolate shops, waffle vendors, and Rue des Bouchers restaurants.

Engaging hotel events for guests include festive decorations during Christmas and New Year, with rooms overlooking the arcade decorated for the season. The hotel provides a communal seating area on each floor, and staff are available to arrange restaurant bookings and provide maps of the city. Accessibility features include wheelchair-accessible rooms with grab rails, a raised toilet, and a lower bathroom sink.
