The House
Avenue Louise is Brussels at its most self-assured — a broad, tree-lined boulevard of flagship boutiques, embassies and Art Nouveau side streets that runs from the edge of the Upper Town toward the Bois de la Cambre. Steigenberger Icon Wiltcher's occupies one of its most commanding addresses, and it behaves accordingly.
The Wiltcher's name has long been attached to this corner of the avenue. The building behind the stately frontage was, for many years, known internationally as Conrad Brussels before its relaunch under Steigenberger's "Icon" label, a designation reserved for the group's most distinctive historic hotels. The renovation balanced the heritage façade with contemporary rooms and technology.
What sets Wiltcher's apart in our catalogue is scale. It is the natural choice when a trip combines leisure with a gala, conference or wedding, thanks to generous event spaces including a ballroom, yet its rooms retain the calm of a residential address.
"If the Lower Town is Brussels' heart, Avenue Louise is its wardrobe — and Wiltcher's is the address with the grandest front door."Jollyjunctioncottages editorial

Rooms & Suites
Rooms favour clean lines, warm neutrals and generous proportions by city-centre standards — a legacy of the building's grand-hotel origins. Suites add separate living areas suited to longer stays and to guests hosting small meetings. Rooms facing the avenue feel connected to the city; those facing the interior are notably quieter.
Dining & Bars
The hotel's restaurant and bar follow an all-day, brasserie-inspired rhythm, from business breakfasts to after-shopping aperitifs. For special dinners, the restaurants of Ixelles and the Sablon are a short taxi or tram ride away; the concierge team can advise on current openings.
