One block from the shops on the Rue Neuve, the 30-storey Sheraton Brussels Hotel and Towers is two blocks from the Botanical Gardens and one kilometre from the historic Grand-Place. The hotel has a vast lobby which features a bronze equestrian statue, and has sofas and floor-to- ceiling windows overlooking busy Place Rogier. The 533 air-conditioned guestrooms feature large padded headboards, tiled bathrooms, and desks, bedside tables, and wardrobes in matching wood with geometric inlay designs. Eleven-foot-wide windows provide full or partial city views, and all rooms include high-speed Internet connections, minibars, and movies, music, and video games via the television (surcharge).
The informal, first-floor Crescendo Restaurant offers street views and an international menu, and is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner daily, while the adjoining Crescendo Bar serves a wide range of drinks, including Belgian beers on tap. The chic O-Bar is decorated with sculptures and serves sushi and baguettes until well after midnight, and the Espresso Bar on the ground floor overlooks Place Rogier and offers coffee, juice, croissants, and sandwiches until late afternoon. Guests enjoy complimentary access to the hotel's fitness centre, saunas, and 39-foot indoor lap pool, located on the 29th and 30th floors and offering panoramic city views. A poolside bar serves soft drinks, wine, beer, and snacks from the room service menu. High-speed wireless Internet access is available throughout the hotel (surcharge), and a 24-hour business centre houses two PCs, a printer, a fax machine, and photocopiers. Accommodating groups up to 1,000, the hotel's 19 meeting rooms include a ballroom and three 29th-floor banquet rooms with city views. Guests who love to shop will find Rue Neuve one block away, and the designer boutiques of Avenue Louise 2.5 kilometres away. Joggers can explore the paths at the Botanical Gardens, two blocks east of the hotel, while chocolate lovers can visit Plančte Chocolat, which combines a chocolate factory with a tea room, one kilometre away on Rue du Lombard. Brussels Airport (BRU) is 13 kilometres from the hotel, a drive of around 20 minutes.
