We’ve stayed in numerous hotels around the world, from four to five stars, but the Brussels Marriott Grand Place has truly stood out. We spent the past week celebrating our anniversary there, and Kaori made the experience exceptional. She arranged for a beautiful room with a stunning view and even surprised us with sparkling wine and cheesecake to mark the occasion. Despite being in the heart of a busy area, the rooms were remarkably quiet. The hotel’s location is perfect for anyone visiting Brussels, and though it’s rated four stars, we received five-star service. A heartfelt thank you to Kaori and her team for making us feel right at home. We look forward to returning soon!

“Best European hotel experience yet”

We just spent 9 days at this hotel. It was an amazing experience. When you first walk in to the lobby you are greeted by a wonderful staff at the desk. Of course, you are offered chocolate right off.

We just spent 9 days at this hotel. It was an amazing experience. When you first walk in to the lobby you are greeted by a wonderful staff at the desk. Of course, you are offered chocolate right off. We had a room on the 4th floor (6th floor American). We had previously asked for a quiet room, and thats exactly what we got. Plent of room for our suitcases and a very comfortable king bed. The concierge was very helpful with suggestions and transportation when needed. The location of the hotel could not be better. Large plaza right outside the door and the Grand Place plaze 2 minutes away. There's a ridiculous amount of restaurants and cafes within 10 minutes of the hotel, you will find whatever you want eat with no problem. Then there are roughly 20 chocolate stores also near the hotel. You will also find waffles and fries just about everywhere in Brussels. Just about every site is within an hour walk of the hotel, we only took a taxi once, to go see the Atomium and Mini Europe. Museums and cathedrals abound nearby. Back to the hotel. There is a fantastic coffee and sandwich shop attached to the hotel, the Barsine. Breakfast, while a bit pricey is just fantastic, too many choices. The lobby is bright, cheerful and spotless. We found no wear and tear anywhere in the hotel, always clean and spotless. Every worker we came across was cheerful, helpful and always willing to talk and answer questions. Everyone spoke english, most actually knew 3 to 4 languages. The only cons are things that the hotel has no control over. A few reviewers mentioned the drug addicts, drunks and homeless would hang out front of the hotel. Not really, they are nearby as in any big city environment. They don't bother anybody and are only randomly there. We never worried or were never bothered by them. Of course there is the weather, it is Brussels after all. You will probably get a little rain off and on most days, but nothing to stop you from walking, never last too long. I highly recommend this hotel for anybody whether you are there for a couple days or longer like us. You won't find find a better location or staff.

“Top 5 Marriotts BonVoy Hotels of My Life”

Wow… One of the best Marriott properties I have stayed at around the world! No, I didn’t get a BonVoy Suite Night room upgrade as requested, and yes the view was one a construction site (with daytime noise), but this didn’t phase me or change my rating. The staff the staff and the staff! Every sing… more

Wow… One of the best Marriott properties I have stayed at around the world! No, I didn’t get a BonVoy Suite Night room upgrade as requested, and yes the view was one a construction site (with daytime noise), but this didn’t phase me or change my rating. The staff the staff and the staff! Every single staff member we met was Uber helpful and provided the most gracious of guest service! Let’s start with Chief Concierge Hervé who helped bring our bags in from our Uber after a long plane ride from East Africa. Consequently Hervé was there on departure and even picked our bags from our room while at breakfast without hassle or wait. Amazing! Next, we have Iris in the MClub or executive lounge. She was very polite and friendly and kept the MClub looking clean, fresh, and luxurious at all times. Great evening appetizers before dinner out at Hard Rock Cafe in Grand Place. Lastly, you have the entire Front Desk team from Paraminder and Liliana at check out to the others who checked us in. We were so touched and delighted with their hospitable service! Our flight arrived at 7am and we reached the hotel by Uber at 8am with light traffic along the way as school just started back up. Upon arrival we were greeted and checked right in, no wait at all! This is what BonVoy Platinum for Life is about… Hassle free travel! Now, before I set you free from my long winded review, let me mention the delicious and wide ranging breakfast buffet in the main restaurant. One of the largest and best I’ve had in a Marriott post COVID. The breakfast team Phioona and Niamh were phenomenal. The make your own juice bar and morning cocktail station were awesome. Kebebe in the kitchen made the perfect eggs! 10 out of 10 I would surely visit again! Actually the breakfast and staff alone make me wish we had stayed longer! Only ding is the lack of upgrade using suite night awards and the slow elevators. But everything else more than made up for that!
