Noga

The eclectic Hotel Noga is a family-run, three-star hotel situated on a quiet side street in fashionable Sainte Catherine. Just a few minutes’ walk away from the Grand Place, the hotel brims with character.

The Noga’s 20 airy rooms afford plenty of space for the mishmash of the old and the new which makes up their décor. Striped walls and contemporary art add modern touches to the hardwood floors and faded black and white photographs. An antique dresser might stand next to a flat-screen television, but it works. Rooms count minibars and free newspapers among their amenities. Even the clean bathrooms are spacious (by European standards) and modern.

The lobby, filled with various antique objects, model ships and instruments, radiates old-world charm. The delightful, nautical-themed dining room, where complimentary breakfast is served, is the kind of place where a young couple may share a table with a grande dame from a bygone era. The downstairs lounge is equally plush, though it seemed barely used by the guests.

With its tranquil location and proximity to a number of sights, Noga is a good place to nurse sore feet after a long day exploring Brussels.

Wi-Fi is available for an additional fee.
