Hotel Review
Odette en Ville, Brussels, Belgium
WHAT WE LOVE...
Even from the outside, the 1920s townhouse, in quiet Rue du Chatelaine in the hip Ixelles district south of the city centre, is a smart affair in grey and black. These colours continue inside which serve to emphasise the feeling that this is a private members' club. Furnishings are velvet, lighting is subtle while black-and-white photographs - fashion shoots and iconic names - line the walls. The monochrome palette, with cool use of white, gives the handful of bedrooms a spare but luxurious feel with deep pile carpets, black-painted floorboards and marble bathrooms. There's a classic French menu, and an extensive wine list. A chic and seductive little spot.
THE DETAILS
Location
We love wandering the neighbouring streets - such as Rues Belle Vue, Paul Emelie Janson and Defacqz - to spot the swirling lines and decorative motifs of wonderfully preserved Art Nouveau buildings.
The renowned Horta Museum, housing the private collection of Victor Horta, is a 10-minute stroll from the hotel.
By plane: there are direct flights from London, Manchester, Edinburgh, Bristol and Birmingham. The hotel is a 30-minute drive from the airport.
By train: the Eurostar goes direct from London St Pancras to Brussels (2 hours). The terminal is a 10-minute drive from the hotel.
Style & Character
This hotel is ideal for couples who are looking for a romantic bolthole but one that is classy and hip rather than frills-and-flowers. You can drift around the rooms trying to identify the photographs - vintage street scenes as well as personalities - we particularly like those of Mohammed Ali.
Service & Facilities
Sitting on the outside terrace is the perfect place to do some serious people-watching.

Rooms
All rooms have the same fittings, they just vary in size, but Room 4 (which is not the biggest) has a secret little terrace. We love that they all have a bath (set into marble surrounds) as well as shower and luxury, custom-made bathroom products.

Facilities include: ensuite bathroom with 'Odette en ville' toiletries, TV, high-speed Wi-Fi
Food & Drink
The dining room is carefully lit with candles and low-level lights over each table creating a very intimate atmosphere. Sitting at the shiny bar and debating which cocktail to choose gets the evening off to a suitably seductive start.
The restaurant: classic French cooking with an Asian twist. Open for lunch and dinner Mon-Fri and lunch Sat-Sun. Mains from €26.
The lounge & bar: classic, classy, extensive menu. Open Tue-Sat 6pm-1am.
