House of the Dukes of Brabant, Protected heritage building complex in Grand Place, Brussels.

The House of the Dukes of Brabant spans across seven guild houses unified by a single monumental facade with decorative pilasters and busts.

The nineteen busts of the Dukes of Brabant adorning the facade represent the historical connection between the building and regional governance.

Located at coordinates 50.846389, 4.353139 in the Pentagon district, the building houses both a restaurant and the only hotel on Grand Place.

The structure incorporates elements from different guild houses behind a unified facade, creating an appearance of a single grand residence.
