A sanctuary in the heart of Brussels

The Dominican, the first member of Design HotelsTM in Belgium, is a destination for elegance in the center of Brussels. Located behind the theatre La Monnaie and the Grand Place, its 150 stylish rooms, 3 multifunctional meeting rooms, private courtyard, and bustling Lounge Bar combine to ensure indulgent hospitality.

Brussels is a sumptuous city, loved by Eurocrats and making history. Within this rich history of graceful architecture, The Dominican strives to integrate Brussels’ traditions and the building’s history with cutting-edge contemporary design and the ultimate in style and comfort.

Architecure

The award-winning architects of FG Stijl, have created an eclectic mix of design in both the interior and exterior, resulting in an array of new styles and experiences. The rich history of the location was a source of inspiration in the exclusive design of The Dominican, mainly the Dominican Abbey which occupied the site during the 15th century and was the home to famous French painter Jacques-Louis David in the 19th century, his spirit is preserved in the original facade of his abode, which is today seamlessly integrated into the new building that houses the hotel.

Rooms

The 150 guestrooms and suites, each with an individual look, are located around a quiet inner courtyard and feature a rich combination of contemporary design and luxurious textiles. Offers quiet comfort in a cloister-like setting. It’s a wonderful respite from the continent’s new governmental hub and a space in which old and new Europe effortlessly melds.

The concept

The concept behind the design of the guest rooms at The Dominican is to provide a respite from the bustling city. With this in mind, all of the rooms have been designed around the peaceful inner courtyard. The luxurious rooms have a view of La Monnaie on one side and the cozy courtyard on the other side. The key to relaxing at The Dominican is feeling at home. Each individually designed room is an eclectic mix of warm colors, stylized furniture, rich upholstery and, above all, comfort. The bathrooms become an oasis of well-being by using luxurious materials, such as granite, and special features, such as walk-in showers.
