The Bar/Lounge at Stanhope Hotel Brussels by Thon Hotels

"Acres of marble in the lobby and bar (once a pharmacy - open the cabinets and you'll see the little wooden drawers) flow out to a hedged courtyard set around a heritage-listed magnolia tree, where you can sample the in-house Brighton Restaurant's English fare"

"Guests can also sip Earl Grey tea amid leather-bound books and Persian rugs in the library bar, or take a gin fizz on the terrace beneath a 100-year-old magnolia tree"

"The hotel's Brighton Restaurant and Library Bar offer convivial places to meet, eat, and drink"

"The bustling eateries of Beenhouwersstraat lead to Delirium Café, the world's most diverse beer bar, with more than 2,000 bottles"

"Air-conditioning, generous work space, phones with data ports, cable Internet access (for a fee), TVs, minibars, laptop-size safes, umbrellas and trouser presses are in all"
