Groups and Events planner

Hotel Amigo is set among the cobbled streets of Brussels, just around the corner from the picturesque Grand Place, one of the most beautiful squares in the world. A former prison, it became a hotel in 1957, just in time to host royals, celebrities and VIPs for the Brussels World’s Fair. Although much has changed since then, we remain true to our name - our team is friendly, warm and waiting to greet you.
