Htel Mtropole 110 years at the heart of Europe. (from the original brochure back in 1894). Inaugurated alongside the vast caf - another marvel of richness and good taste - also founded by the Wielemans-Ceupens family, the Hotel Metropole,, resembling similar establishments in London, has rizen rapidly, to become one of the first houses in Brussels. Nothing has been overlooked to create the ultimate luxurious impression. The beauty of the used materials, the nobel timber varieties, the natural marbles and their monumental or artistic use, the electrical lighting and the steam heating on all floors, everything has been thouroughly thought over to make the voyager oblivious that he stays in a hotel and to create the special atmosphere of home quietude. The Hotel Mtropole is located on the Place de Brouckre, between the Boulevard Anspach and the Boulevard du Nord, two thriving centres of amusement and business. This major city thoroughfare goes to the Nord station in one direction and to the South station in the other. In the same vicinity you will find Postoffices, Telegraph and Telephone offices, Theaters and Concert cafs, artgaleries and many more... Many electrified tramways converge to the hotel, and private cars can be in front of the Hotel. Of the many facilities of the Hotel, we have only provided a glimpse. Thanks to the owner's visionary ideas, and who bears a famous name in the Belgian brewer's world, they are all of princely taste. Let us first enter the entrance-hall, in French renaissance style. On your left and right, blind mirrors provide you with a view on the lounge, the restaurant and the reception. The high walls are covered with Numidian marble, and the coffered ceiling will remind you of some historical Loire castle. Admire the wrought- and cast-iron arches, professionaly designed and finely crafted. The Hall, illuminated by a large lantern and enhanced with stained-glass windows, is ventilated by hidden airconducts. The Hall, caracterised by simple architectual design, supported by large bays and enlarged with mirrors, will leave you with an impression of grandness. Opposite the Hall, you will admire the large staircase. The lift was commissioned from the renowned French company of Edoux, which found favour when it equipped the Eiffel Tower with elevators. The latest safetymeasures have been used, like the ones in the Banque de France or in the Fort de Vincennes or in many Parisian Hotels. The walls in the hall and in the staircase have also been covered with Numidian marble. A lovely marble fountain, with an bronze nymph on top, by Julien Dillen, is not to be forgotten. The great Banqueting room is decorated in Italian renaissance style. On both ends you will see large Chemtoe marble fireplaces, over twenty feet high, with gilded ornaments. The large Hall - This vast room, marvellous wintergarden with ornamental plants, has been decorated in Italian renaissance style. A strict and both lush impression is conveyed by the design of the layout and the charm of the shades. Six high marble columns, enriched with pompeian bronze and gold inlays, sustain the arched ceiling. In the coffers of this ceiling, you will be attracted by the boldness of the colours, by the decoration, by the original, harmonious and charming design. What have we forgotten in this mind dazzling description, however incomplete ? That the presentation and courtesy of the staff is unflawed; that all employees speak different languages; that both kitchen and winecellar of the Hotel Mtropole stand no comparison; that all meals are real Lucullus feasts completed with concerts each evening at six p.m., during the whole holiday season. It would be useless publicity, for the reputation of this house has already been established through many thousands of visitors, who pledged to return after their stay.
