Penta is coming to the heart of Europe: from June, pentahotel Brussels City Centre, the newest property in portfolio of the pentahotels neighbourhood lifestyle brand, will add its unmistakable vibe to the Belgian capital. The former Mercure hotel has been completely refurbished and now makes a bold and very stylish mark with its inimitable penta design.

Pentahotels' Belgium flagship is centrally located adjacent to the city's fashion boulevard, Avenue Louise, putting it smack dab in one of the city's trendiest areas. Endless boutiques, award-winning restaurants and great nightlife options give the quarter its distinctive appeal, which is now set to become even hipper thanks to penta's unrivalled style.

The centrepiece of the 202-bedroom property is the pentalounge. No anonymous hotel lobby, guests step into a stylish club location and check in at the bar. The uber-cool club effortlessly transforms from a laid-back daytime gathering place into a hip lounge by night. Featuring pool tables, Sony PlayStations and free Wi-Fi, the 24/7-lounge is destined to become one of the most popular places to meet, hang out and have fun in the Belgian capital.

The spacious rooms feature the design signature of Italian star architect Mattheo Thun. Guests can leave the pulsating city behind and unwind completely. The bedrooms have 42-inch flat screen TVs for the ultimate home cinema experience, with free on demand pay-TV including sports channels, and free WiFi is standard.

For successful off-site meetings, the hotel offers a stunning eighth-floor rooftop area where eight meeting rooms are equipped with state-of-the-art technology. Panoramic city views and natural daylight guarantee a refreshing working atmosphere amidst a total of 292 square metres and conference and function suites accommodating more than 300 people.
