When you go to a Brussels city hotel, whether it s for business or pleasure, one of the little details that can make or break a stay is finding a room with a view. City vistas are always in demand, and a good picture is worth its weight in gold as a memento of your journey. But it s worth exploring a little to find a truly unique picture. Here are a few off-the-beaten-track cityscapes to find in Brussels.

Jubilee Park

Though it s located a little towards the outskirts of the city, Jubilee Park is situated within an easy journey of many a Brussels city hotel. The buildings of the U-shaped complex that dominate the park were commissioned by King Leopold the Second, and built for the 1880 National Exhibition commemorating 50 years of Belgian independence. Housing three museums within the complex one of military history, one of art, and one featuring vintage cars it s a perfect place to rediscover the Brussels culture while searching for a good vantage point. Once you get off the ground, many of the windows and ledges of the upper floors are home to unique city panoramas.

Parking 58

One stunning view can be found not in a hill or tower, but atop Brussels Parking 58. While it might already be a familiar place if you re using a car to get around while staying in a Brussels city hotel, you might not have had time to appreciate the views. Situated in the very centre of the city, 100m from La Monnaie, the 10th and top floor reveals a beautiful 360 degree view of Brussels. You can recognize famous landmarks like the Palace of Justice, the Grand Place Tower, the Atomium and the Basilique. The best part is it stays open until midnight for car-parking convenience and, incidentally, offering a wonderful night-time view.

Mont des Arts

Another place offering spectacular evening views is the esplanade at the end of the Mont des Arts. Arriving on a clear day gives the passer-by a striking view of place d Espagne and the town hall tower but it s most atmospheric on a clear evening with the vibrant colours of the sunset. If you have a spare evening in a Brussels city hotel, a stroll to le Monts des Arts gives a view you can t quite find from a window.

Breughel L Ancien

Although you may think Brussels is mostly flat, it is actually home to a few small hills. An easy way to reach the top from the bottom is by taking the elevator . In the Marolles area near Sablon, within a small square named Breughel L Ancien, there sits an elevator for pedestrians and bicycles which operates until midnight. At the top, the elevator gives a sweeping view of the Basilique, the Atomium, and the entire city centre. As the elevator finishes its ascent, it deposits passengers near the Palace of Justice and shopping area Avenue Louise It s a popular site to relax for a moment when you re on the go, and see if you can spot your own Brussels city hotel.
