MADE IN LOUISE

Made in Louise is a boutique guesthouse in Brussels’s Art Nouveau district, with 48 rooms over the six-story property. This family business is run by (the Duchateau family) brother and sister duo Mélanie and Martin, with their mom’s interior design expertise, who 2012 spruced up this historic 18th-century building into a modern accommodation. With a keen eye for fine details, each room has its character; some are simple yet chic, flanked with wooden beamed walls, while others have a slightly rustic style. Made in Louise’s, historic charm blooms across the property, with added modern quirks such as neutral colour contrasts with bold wallpapers and interesting home decor.

Approaching the reception area, the building’s modest entry opens into a perfectly lovely space with a fireplace, billboard room, business centre, and other additions that make this place ideal for both business and leisure guests. With hospitality at the forefront of the business, the property’s staff is amicable and can help with guests’ demands. You can count on the staff’s cheerful hospitality for tips on a day out in the city.

OUR STORY

OUR STORY

Made in Louise provides the easy rest you need before venturing into the city with a choice of rooms overlooking the impressive courtyard or quiet street. For sheer comfort, the property has several chill-out areas: a fireplace in the lounge area, the leafy courtyard with giant chess pieces, a billiard room to play with friends or family, and Belgian craft beers at the Made in Bar. If you can’t be bothered to go out to eat on a long day, Made In Louise has an in-room guide with the best restaurant deliveries in the city. This can be delivered directly to your room or at the hotel bar.

Breakfast has impressed us with a great selection of delicious options, such as homemade waffles and pancakes, scrambled eggs with toast, cheeses, fruit bowls, and other delights. The buffet breakfast is served in the bright loggia overlooking the courtyard, with the morning sun denoting the room. On weekdays, breakfast is served from 7 am to 10 a.m., and on weekends, from 8 am to 11 am. If you get hungry later in the day, the 24-hour snack bar on the ground floor has numerous sweet and salty snacks.

Tempted to discover the city by bike? Brussels offers free Villo! cards to borrow shared bikes. With this option, you can explore the city from a different viewpoint and enjoy the luxury of using the city’s well-connected bike lanes.

There is one room adapted for guests with restricted mobility. However, please be aware that the hotel is not fully wheelchair-accessible, as there can be steps.
