The First Choice in Convenience Among Boutique Hotels in Brussels
Situated on the prestigious Avenue Louise at the edge of the Bois de la Cambre, Warwick Barsey Hotel is a personalized boutique hotel that combines unobtrusive luxury with a unique style of hospitality.
This four-star boutique hotel in Brussels, recently renovated and entirely inspired by the famous French designer Jacques Garcia, is a real treat to the eye. He has turned existing styles upside down by uniting classicism and extravagance.
Within a few seconds of arrival, the diversity of impressions: the elegance, the refined reception, the atmospheric music and the style and colors of Garcia everywhere - rich red, blatant gold, royal blue... with elaborate motifs on silk, velour, tapestries, and on other, more flamboyant fabrics - makes a big impact on guests.

This four-star hotel belongs to the elite in terms of elegance and, consequently, it is an appropriate place for business meetings, those in transit and celebrities.

The decoration of the houses is most remarkable.' -

The Museum of Modern Art
This section houses works of art from the end of the 18th century up to the modern period that include paintings, sculptures and drawings. It represents the logical continuation of the artistic evolution that starts in The Museum of Ancient Art. This particularity of the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium contributes to their originality.
The collections from the 19th century are exhibited in the neoclassical building overlooking the Place Royale (entrance to The Museum of Modern Art). The paintings and sculptures on display are arranged on a thematic and chronological basis and are spread over six floors or levels. Those of the 20th century are grouped together in the rooms that were opened in 1984. In part underground, these are arranged around a light shaft that gives the architectural structure a special identity.
Open: Daily - 10:00 am to 5:00 pm
Closed: Monday, 1st and 11th November 2005 and 25th December 2005
