Amigo

Frommer's Review

In Brussels slang, an "amigo" is a prison, and indeed a prison once stood here, in a highly convenient location (both then and now) across the street from the Town Hall. But any resemblance to the former accommodations is purely nominal. Under new ownership, the Amigo has gone from being a worthy but somewhat dull lodging to among the city's finest. The hotel's Spanish Renaissance architecture, stately corridors, and flagstone lobby are right at home in this ancient neighborhood. Some of the previous incarnation's antiques, sculptures, wall tapestries, and wood accents have been retained, to good effect. The rooms are quite spacious and traditionally elegant, but with modern Flemish design touches to brighten things up -- and Tintin motifs in the bathrooms to add an element of whimsy. Ask for a room with a view on the Town Hall's fantastic Gothic spire.
