Cardo Brussels, Autograph Collection
Really nice hotel. Good breakfast, superb pool. Decent ai lifts once you have mastered them - you select your floor outside and it tells you which lift. Really helpful Portuguese guy with long hair at ground floor reception who advised us on cheap restaurants we would never have found. Please please ...
