Hotel Amigo is the first hotel in our European tour, close to Brussels Railway Station and one of Europe's most beautiful squares, the "Grand Place", as the Rocco Forte luxury hotel. Representative, excellent location naturally needless to say. We deliberately visited the hotel's classic suite - the "Armand Blaton" suite. On the roof terrace of the suite, you can enjoy the most splendid buildings in the heart of Brussels. Open the balcony in the room and you can face the clock tower of the town hall. In the Flemish interior furnishings, weaving flowers and chocolate, the time seems to be backwards, and I immediately turned into a medieval aristocrat, traveling through the social occasions. . . The name of the Hotel Amigo is also intriguing. In 1522, the city council bought the building for use as a prison, but the Spanish ruler misinterpreted the Flemish word "vrunt" as "friend" (vriend or amigo), and the locals The ironic name has a special liking. By 1957, the prison was demolished and converted into a hotel. Today's hotel is within easy reach of the modern Dansaert shopping district, and its unique location is a testament to the bustling cultural scene of Brussels.
