Part of the Aroundtown portfolio: Grand opening of the newly designed Cardo Brussels, Autograph Collection

In the heart of Brussels: The Cardo Brussels, Autograph Collection has ceremonially opened after an extensive renovation. The hotel is part of the Aroundtown portfolio.

The Cardo Brussels has 30 floors and stands out from the Brussels skyline with its elaborately designed façade based on René Magritte's world-famous painting "Le fils de l'homme". The connection to the train station and the proximity to Brussels Airport make the hotel attractive for both business and leisure travellers.

Kamaldeep Manaktala, CEO of the Hotel Division at Aroundtown: “This hotel marks another key milestone for Aroundtown and follows the success of our property in Rome, which both re-opened this year. The stunning façade makes it an iconic part of Brussels’ skyline. Its prime location in the heart of the city ensures it will be a sought-after destination.”

The extensive renovation work, overseen by Aroundtown as the owner, has given the hotel new splendour.

Kamaldeep Manaktala, CEO of the Hotel Division at Aroundtown: “At Aroundtown, our vision is to create spaces that combine tradition with modern experiences, unlocking the full potential of each property we develop. The transformation of this hotel has been a collaborative effort of dedication and hard work. Together with our partners, we have created a distinctive destination that reflects the unique spirit of Brussels while offering the highest standards of modern hospitality.”

The hotel comprises over 500 rooms, including 46 differently designed suites. It offers 15 spacious conference and event rooms, a rooftop swimming pool and a spa with views of the Brussels skyline. The hotel is located in the business district of Brussels and close to famous sights such as the Royal Palace and the Atomium.

It is the second hotel of Cardo Hotels. Like the sister hotel in Rome, which celebrated its ceremonial opening just recently, the new hotel in Brussels is also part of the Autograph Collection – which is part of Marriott Bonvoy's global hotel brand portfolio. The Cardo Roma is also part of the Aroundtown portfolio. More information: https://www.cardohotels.com/
