"A robust and blowsy dowager duchess of a hotel, this 298-room Victorian has seen continuous service since 1895—amazingly, it's the only 19th-century survivor in the city."

Editor's Pick
"Housed in a narrow 19th-century townhouse on a quiet side street, the one-star Les Ecrins is a simple and charming inn and just a 10-minute walk from the Grand Place."
