BACKGROUND

The Hoxton, Brussels opened in May 2023, marking the brand's entry into Belgium. The brand is part of Ennismore, in which Accor holds a majority stake, and has 12 properties in Europe and North America.

WHERE IS IT?

The hotel occupies 12 floors of the 22-storey Victoria Tower in the city's Northern Quarter, once home to IBM's European headquarters. The Hoxton brings life to this high-rise-heavy business district, with the city's beautiful botanical gardens on its doorstep. It's a 15-minute walk to the city centre and a ten-minute tram or metro ride to Brussels Midi train station, where you can catch the Eurostar to London St Pancras.

WHAT'S IT LIKE?

The brutalist exterior is offset with leafy botanical interiors and retro 1970s decor. A medley of colourful clashing patterns, graphic rugs and geometric shapes is well executed by AIME Studios and creates an inspirational backdrop for stays and remote work.

The rail thing - Why airlines and train companies are partnering to increase options for travellers on short journeys

An intercity flight connection operated by train would have been almost unthinkable in the early 1990s, but in 2024 it will increasingly be the default experience at many European hub airports. European nations have been among the world's leaders in adopting high-speed rail for short-distance trips, along with Asian countries such as Japan and China.

Adventures in Albania - From paranoid dictatorship to dream travel destination, why the Balkan nation is ready for its moment in the sun

Over the past few years, tourism has shot up stratospherically; recent figures from the European Travel Commission show it's grown 86 per cent since 2019. Its GDP per capita has also been increasing, and last year stood at US$8,800, while the average monthly salary is now around 84,000 lek (£704). Foreign direct investment is also on the rise, with countries including Switzerland, Italy, and the Netherlands targeting sectors such as energy, mining, information and real estate to a value of around US$1.5 billion in 2022, according to UNCTAD's World Investment Report. Not bad for a country which used to depend on foreign food aid.
