Luxury Hotels in Brussels

If you are planning a trip to Brussels and want to make the most out of it, you certainly want to find a comfortable place to spend your nights. Find a list of starred hotels where you can be sure to benefit from the best quality services. But do you know how the stars are awarded? What can you expect from those hotels according to their category? Find some answers here.

Until recently, the three Belgian "Communautés" were responsible for the ranking that goes up to 5 stars. That system was not practical, since you could have the same number of stars for hotels of different standings or, in the opposite, a different number of stars for two hotels that look exactly the same and provide the same services because it was awarded by different "jurys". In order to harmonise this and help customers to have a clearer overview of what they can expect, a new ranking has been determined. Now, the system is the same in the whole country and stars are awarded when the hotel fulfils a certain number of obligations.

Moreover, Belgium has now joined 15 other European countries in their attempt to provide a uniform classification in the Union. This evaluation grid contains 270 criteria, which include the size of the room and the quality of the equipment and pieces of furniture, the cleanliness, the number of services provided as part of the customer's experience, the professionalism and availability of the employees, and so on. Authorities have nothing to do with this initiative since the competence is left at the regional level and hotels are, therefore, free to follow it or not.
