Hotel Le Plaza, Brussels, hotel in Brussels, Belgium, including a theatre
Hotel Le Plaza is a hotel and theater building on Boulevard Adolphe Max in Brussels, designed in Louis XVI style. The building contains guest rooms and suites spread across several floors, along with a theater space that can seat around 1,300 people.
The hotel opened in 1931, designed by architect Michel Polak, and was considered one of the most prominent addresses in Brussels at the time. During World War II, German forces occupied the building and left booby traps on their retreat, which detonated before the Allies arrived and caused damage to parts of the structure.
The theater inside the hotel was once a meeting point for performers and promoters from across Belgium and still hosts concerts and live events today. Its Arab-Moorish decorative details, with arched recesses, carved panels, and columns, stand out sharply from the rest of the building's Louis XVI style.
The hotel is on Boulevard Adolphe Max, close to the De Brouckère and Rogier metro stations, which makes it easy to move around the city by public transport. The surrounding area is walkable and has several shopping streets and cafes within a short distance.
The hotel keeps beehives on its grounds and produces its own honey, an initiative that has earned it several environmental awards. This is an unusual practice for a city hotel of this size and sets it apart from other properties in the center of Brussels.
