A city of national and international importance: Apartment Hotels in Brussels
Brussels is the capital of Belgium, the seat of the french community in Belgium and of the flemish community. The city has 1.2 million inhabitants with a metropolitan area of 1.8 million people. Its situation on the boarder of the french speaking and dutch speaking part of Belgium makes Brussels a very important city for both communities. Officially Brussels is bilingual, even though the majority of people name French as their mother tongue. This bilingual setting makes Brussels also very attractive to internationals and expats. Year by year many international move to Brussels. For many of these visitors our apartment hotels in Brussels offer a temporary accommodation for the first couple of month.
Sightseeing near the apartment hotels in Brussels
Despite its political importance, guests in our apartment hotels in Brussels have the opportunity to see beautiful sights and landmarks. If you want to see all the sights in one day, we recommend taking the hop-on-hop-off bus in Brussels. If you prefer discovering the city on your own, then you can of course do so. The Royal Palace of Laeken is one of the most important sights in Brussels. It should not be mistaken with the Royal Palace of Brussels in the city center of Brussels. The Royal Place of Laeken was built as a summer residence of the governors of the Habsburg Netherlands, while the Royal Palace of Brussels is the official palace (but not permanent residence) of the king and queen of Belgium. Another famous sight is the Atomium, which was built for the world fair of the year 1958, which was hosted in Brussels. Guests in our apartment hotels in Brussels should grasp the opportunity and access the top of the Atomium to enjoy spectacular views on the city of Brussels.
The political capital of Europe
Brussels political importance has evolved since the end of the second World War. The main institutions of the European Union, such as the European Council, the Council of the European Union and the European Commission, are based in Brussels. Prime Ministers and Foreign Ministers of the EU countries regularly meet up in Brussels. This is the reason why Brussels also serves as the “steering wheel” of the European Union. Many people working for the European Union also stay in our apartment hotels in Brussels. Furthermore, the headquarter of the NATO is located in Brussels. Its central location in the Benelux region is also the reason why the secretariat of the Benelux is also situated in Brussels. Due to Brussels’ political importance, many multinational companies have set up branches in this city.
Still, one must note that also many local craft breweries have evolved into big companies in this region. Many people staying in our apartment hotels in Brussels feel like getting a beer after a long day of work or sightseeing in one of the numerous beer bars.
