Rocco Forte Hotel Amigo

The original building predates 1522 when it was bought by the city council from a wealthy merchant family and turned into a prison. The Spanish rulers at the time mistook the Flemish for prison to mean "friend" and translated this into their own language as "Amigo". The irony of this misunderstanding seems to have pleased the people of Brussels and the name has been retained. The building was re-build as a hotel by the Blaton family in 1957 for the Universal Exhibition in 1958.

Following the purchase of the Hotel by Sir Rocco Forte in 2000, it has undergone a complete refurbishment followed by the stylish eye of Olga Polizzi, Rocco Forte Collection’s Director of Design. Rocco Forte’s Hotel Amigo has been restored to its former glory, with fresh modern interiors whilst retaining its character and charm, making it the best luxury hotel in the city.

Throughout Hotel Amigo, the style depicts the fresh, modern interiors now synonymous with The Rocco Forte Collection brand whilst also retaining the hotel's character and charm.
As befits the capital city of Europe, they have ensured that the latest facilities and technology have been provided throughout the hotel, from bedrooms to conference suites.
