When the SAS-Radisson opened in the mid-Nineties, it was the hottest address in Brussels. The hotel is basically square-shaped with a central courtyard expanding upward all the way to the top and gives a very luminous atrium, filled with plants. Compared to the other more "historic" hotel, the sleek Scandinavian design is like a breath of fresh air…
The rooms have different themes according to the floor: Oriental, Art Deco, and Maritime and the Royal Club are the deluxe rooms. Nothing remarkable about them really, though. The theme is accented by some details (like a big rattan chair for the Asian room). The SAS’s best featured is its Sea Grill (excellent for those who love seafood, it's Michelin rated) and the 14th century encompassed wall that was preserved when the hotel was build. Another feature of the hotel is the Bar Dessiné. A small bar located just at the entrance of the lobby where some of Belgium's most famous comic-strips artist have drawn souvenirs on the walls. Nice place for a fancy drink before, or after a meal at the sea Grill.
