1 Square Victoria Régina, 1210 Brussels
Welcome to The Hoxton, Brussels
It’s great to have you in the house and we hope that you enjoy your stay with us. To make sure you get the most out of your trip, we’ve put together this little Survival Guide with all the bits and bobs that you might need whilst you’re with us.
The building
Our new home here in boutique Brussels is something of a landmark – with oodles of Brutalist style and a distinct 1970s groove. Created in 1974 by Belgian architect Walter Bresseleers, and spanning a mighty 22 floors, Victoria Regina Tower is a city skyline icon. Once the European HQ for global tech giant IBM, it later became a base for the Federal Police – but don’t worry, the only way you’ll get booked nowadays is into one of our fabulous rooms or restaurants. We’ve kept original Brutalist features throughout the building, along with all the funky design accents you’d expect from history’s disco-loving era. Want some awesome city views? Head to our rooftop taqueria and be top of the lot.
In the neighbourhood
We’re excited to call Brussels our home, here in the heart of the Belgian capital. Small but mighty, this melting pot neighbourhood of 153 nationalities from all corners of the globe has stylish shops, vibey restaurants and cute coffee spots – not forgetting the leafy parks and nightclubs right on our doorstep. Check out our neighbour, Le Botanique, where the city’s coolest kids gather to get their culture fix.
