On Rue de l’Amigo, merely 50 metres from the Grand-Place, stands the Hotel Amigo, Brussels’ luxury establishment by the Rocco Forte Hotels group. The building, occupying the site of a former 16th-century prison (hence the name “Amigo”, a nickname given by Spanish occupants), boasts 154 rooms and suites exuding contemporary Belgian charm, with interiors designed by Olga Polizzi, Sir Rocco Forte’s sister.
Contemporary Belgian Design
Olga Polizzi has harmonised Flemish heritage (tapestries, Delftware, Tintin drawings) with contemporary lines. Each room is unique, and certain suites offer direct views of the gothic spire of Brussels City Hall.
Bocconi: Refined Italian Cuisine
The Amigo’s Bocconi restaurant offers contemporary Italian cuisine, in a setting designed to evoke a revisited Venetian palace. Homemade pasta, wood-fired pizzas, wines from all Italian regions, it is one of Brussels’ finest Italian dining establishments.
