Craves
Boudoir Art Deco — dark, theatrical, intimate. Petrol blue, velvet, marble, and moody floral prints dominate every room. The ground-floor restaurant Le Conteur and the Atrium-level Scène speakeasy bar mean the evenings here have real energy.
Breakfast is not always included in rates — it's €19 extra and served 7am–11am daily. Worth it.
Why It Matters
Winner of the Architecture & Design Collection Awards 2023 (Platinum). Listed in the Michelin Guide. The restaurant Le Conteur — a Mediterranean/Middle Eastern sharing-plates concept — is independently popular enough that non-guests reserve tables specifically to come here.
Craves is a 3-star boutique hotel on a pedestrian street two blocks from the Grand Place, and it does not look like any other hotel in Brussels. The rooms lean hard into a boudoir-meets-Art-Deco aesthetic: petrol blue walls, velvet textures, marble accents, and floral wallpaper designed to hit all five senses. Refurbished in 2022 and a Platinum Winner of the Architecture & Design Collection Awards that year, it punches well above its star rating on style.
Where You'll Stay
4 room types available
Deluxe Craves
A 20m² room that comfortably sleeps three — one double bed plus either a single bed or a single sofa bed. Flat-screen TV and the same moody Art Deco interior as the rest of the hotel. Good for small groups or families with one child.
1 double + 1 single, or 1 double + 1 single sofa · 20 sqmFamily Craves
At 50m², this is in a different league from the other categories — and literally in a different building. The Family Craves rooms sit in a separate annex directly across the pedestrian street. You get a proper living room with sofa bed, a double bed, and a private entrance. The bathroom has a shower and hairdryer. Sleeps up to four. The trade-off: no reception on site in the annex, and you will navigate with your luggage independently. There are 5 of these rooms in total.
1 double bed + 1 double sofa bed · 50 sqmPetite Craves
The smallest room in the house — compact at 12m² but styled with the same boudoir Art Deco treatment as everything else. Deep blues, velvet accents, floral wallpaper. Works for a solo traveler who just needs a beautifully designed place to sleep. Private bathroom with bathtub or shower.
1 single bed · 12 sqmSuperior Craves
The most popular category — 15m² with a flat-screen LCD TV, a work area, and the signature petrol-blue boudoir décor. You can configure it as a twin or double. Private bathroom with bathtub or shower. Good for couples or solo travelers who want a little more space.
