Steigenberger Wiltcher’s: More Than a Luxury Hotel in Brussels

With the number of hotels that are available in Brussels, there are actually only a select few that make it to my favorites list. There are budget accommodations that I have come to love, that’s for sure; but of course, it really can’t be helped when luxury hotels are on the top of my list — they do capitalize on the utmost comfort and style for their guests! (Steigenberger Wiltcher)

So if you’re ever in this bustling city that is called as the ‘Heart of Europe’ and looking for a luxurious stay, consider the legendary hotel in Avenue Louise, the Steigenberger Wiltcher’s.

The Steigenberger Wiltcher Hotel

A 5-Star Steigenberger Wiltcher Hotel. Based in Germany, the Steigenberger Hotel Group is one of Europe’s leading hospitality companies, and for over 80 years, the name stands for the top-class European hotels and resorts. The Steigenberger Wiltcher’s is their stronghold in Belgium and it has been more than a luxury hotel — it is a unique experience that holds a historic magnificence!

Historical elegance. In 1911 to 1913, Baron Joseph de Crawez commissioned for Sydney-Charles Wiltcher to work on building an art noveau building, and this is how the hotel first came to place. It was originally signed with Carlton Hotels in 1925, but it was taken over by Steigenberger in 2013 which spurred its popularity.

Accessible location. It is conveniently placed in the elegant Avenue Louise which is Brussel’s golden shopping mile in the Ixelles district. The city’s main attractions are not so far away either as they are just a few minutes away. Rest assured, the tram and metro are just a stone’s throw away from the hotel for your ease of travel within the metropolis.
