The choice of this hotel was a key point
for our long weekend in Brussels. Not only was it in the heart of the city, 2
minutes walk from the Grand Place, but it was also competitively priced: we
found a great rate for that time of year, which was the end of August.
The Royal Windsor is royal in everything
and grand in comfort, style and service. We liked our Premium room, combining
classic charm with modern amenities and I fell for its luxury toiletries by Gilchrist & Soames.
Having slept soundly, we enjoyed the full
American buffet breakfast. We had a choice of freshly squeezed juices and fresh
fruit, a wide selection of pastries and fresh breads, jams and marmalades, an
assortment of smoked meats and salmon, cheeses and salads, various dairy
products, tea and coffee.
The "Waterloo Bar" is where
guests can relax in a cosy and calm atmosphere. One of their bartenders won second
place in this year’s Belgian National Cocktail Contest. To be honest, we didn’t
try any of his cocktails. We were in a romantic mood and had a crush on a
typical brasserie (see the upcoming
post).
Since pictures are worth a thousand words,
I leave you with my photo gallery of the Royal Windsor.

It looks like a very grand hotel.
ReplyDeleteYes, the hotel location, staff and food were superb. After the refurbishment next year it will be even better ;-))
DeleteI have one burning question: where does the cocktail waiter who won first prize in the Begian National Cocktail Contest work?
ReplyDeleteYou are really cheeky! Sorry don't know... But Fabian Van Roy the 2nd on the last contest of UBB, the national Belgian cocktail contest, will surprise any guests with his signature cocktails. Have a lovely weekend :-))
