How far is it from the Grand Place? What kind of area is it in? And is it any good? I%26#39;m visiting just as a tourist and what to be near the tourist attractions.

If you google renaissance hotel brussels, you will get a map showing you exactly where it is. This hotel is more conveniently located for business visitors (especially those visiting certain EU departments) than tourists, being near the European Parliament and the Gare du Luxembourg, so convenient for getting to Luxembourg if by any chance you wanted to. It isn%26#39;t on the metro, but about 10 minutes walk from Trône on metro line 2 (which serves Gare du Midi); on the other hand it is served by plenty of buses, including the 27 from Gare du Midi where you would arrive on the Eurostar. Also convenient for people arriving from Brussels Airport as it is served by the airport bus (12 on weekdays, 21 at weekends).
The area itself is an office ghetto apart from the Place du Luxembourg which is full of cafés and restaurants. Brussels is too small for anywhere to be far from the tourist attractions, but the Luxembourg area is not bang in the centre of town, most tourists want to be near the Grand%26#39; Place.
If you look at the list of %26quot;Brussels hotels%26quot; on the left you will find that many VT members have commented on location.

i have stayed near the EU business district area, i would NOT recommend it for fri-sun stay, it is literally a ghost town during this time, most things are closed and there are hardly any people. I would recommend you stay at renaissance sister company Marriot. It is opposite the stock exchange and near Boeurs station. It is central to everything, and literally a few mins away from the grand place, bars, restaurant etc. Its slightly more pricey than Rennaisance, but definately worth the extra price. Or maybe stay at the Alma hotel? I have stayed here many times, and it is very central as well, only a few mins walk from grand place.
