Belgium
Belgium is an underrated hotel destination that rewards curious travelers. Brussels blends Art Nouveau architecture with contemporary design, offering boutique hotels near the Grand Place and in the fashionable Ixelles quarter. Bruges — the medieval canal city — provides fairy-tale accommodation in converted convents, merchant houses, and waterside properties. Ghent offers a more local-feeling alternative with excellent design hotels and a thriving food scene. Antwerp, the diamond and fashion capital, has cutting-edge stays in the fashion district and historic properties near the cathedral. Belgium's compact size means you can easily combine multiple cities, and the country's legendary food and beer culture elevates every hotel stay.
