The Hotel is a four-star hotel, located in the Avenue Louise/Louizalaan district of Brussels. The 94-metre-high hotel is the highest public viewpoint in Brussels. The building is one of the most widely recognized sky-high building on the skyline of Brussels. When city officials decided that for the long-term tall buildings should disappear in Brussels, they opted not to include the hotel on the list with buildings to be removed. This decision proves that the building has become a landmark, and a part of Brussels’ city center.
