Corinthia Grand Hotel Astoria Brussels

The Corinthia Grand Hotel Astoria is a palace hotel in Brussels featuring Belgian Beaux-Arts architecture with a Louis XVI facade. The building contains 126 rooms distributed across multiple floors in the city center.

The hotel was built in 1909 and commissioned by King Leopold II for the 1910 Brussels International Exposition. It later hosted numerous world leaders over the course of a century.

The name references ancient Corinth, evoking classical grandeur in a modern context. Today, visitors experience Belgian culinary traditions within spaces designed for refined dining.

Following extensive renovations since 2016, the hotel is in its reopening phase with updated facilities throughout. Visitors should check ahead as certain areas may have limited access during the transition period.

The ground floor retains its original decorations including an 11-meter glass roof. The restored stained glass windows from the 1909 construction period add to this rare state of preservation.
