Occupying a terrace of 19th century townhouses within three blocks of the European Parliament, the Stanhope Hotel combines English drawing room style with a modern, uncluttered layout.

Guests have free access to the hotel's 24 hour fitness centre, with its small gym, sun bed, five person sauna and women's and men's locker rooms. Serving modern European haute cuisine, the Restaurant Brighton was inspired by the Banqueting Room of the 19th century Royal Pavilion in Brighton, England. Weather permitting, guests dine in the garden courtyard beneath a century old magnolia tree. Chamber music wafts through the sedate and spacious new lobby, with its fluted white columns, delicate floral drapes, and busts of Belgian royalty. The Library Bar, located off the lobby, is an intimate retreat with fireplace, leather seating, polished oak bar, and bookcases. A computer station in the lobby includes high speed Internet access (surcharge and a printer. Wireless Internet access (surcharge is available in the nine meeting rooms.
