Where to Stay Near Magritte Museum: 15 Best Design Hotels

Meininger Hotels Bruxelles City Center occupies a converted factory on the banks of the Charleroi-Brussels canal, placing it around 2 km from the Magritte Museum - reachable by metro from Graaf van Vlaanderen station in under 15 minutes. The industrial interior design is genuinely distinctive: exposed concrete ceilings, large white pillars, and metal factory lamps carry the conversion aesthetic from the lobby through to the restaurant and bar. Rooms feature parquet flooring and flat-screen TVs, and the property includes a games room and bicycle rental, which is a practical asset for exploring Brussels at your own pace. The Grand Place is 1.5 km away on foot, and Brussels Central Station is 2 km from the hotel.

Rooms include minibars, work desks, and en-suite shower bathrooms, and the Brussels-North Railway Station is a 10-minute walk, giving Thalys and Eurostar passengers a practical secondary option.

A retro-style bar, a restaurant open until 9:30pm, and a generous daily breakfast buffet give guests meaningful on-site options without needing to exit the building. Underground parking at 20€ per night (reservation required) addresses the car access gap that most central Brussels hotels cannot solve.
