Brussels: the Collector's Promenade, at the art nouveau Solvay Hotel
An Art Nouveau master piece, the Solvay Hotel unveils itself during a « Promenade du Collectionneur » presented at the same time as the 10th edition of the Brussels Artistic Week.
At the heart of the Belgian capital, the Solvay hotel, named after a wealthy philanthropist, is inscribed on the UNESCO's World Heritage list. The building is part of the Art Nouveau strolls, the elegant Avenue Louise. Amongst the most handsome creations of architect Victor Horta, between 1895 and 1903, its facade with ornamented bow-windows is designed in glass, stainless steel and natural stone.

An updated Golden Age
During a guided visit, you will have access to the main staircase surmouted by an impressive skylight and enhanced by a twirling bannister in golden metal that leads to the ground floor. On the elegant upper level, where one finds the public spaces, the reception room and the dining room, in the back. And since the venue can be entirely privatized, don't hesitate to take the complete tour…
Organizing a small private reception in the prestigious salons will certainly impress your guests… © DR
