In the know
- Our favourite rooms
- Size matters at Be Manos – every room is at least 30sqm, meaning that whatever you book, you’ll have oodles of feline-flinging space. We’re especially keen on the two rear-facing junior suites (412 and 512), which have their own terraces. Hotel room interiors are bold monochrome creations, with the slick black masculinity offset by softer touches such as suede fabrics and opaline glass ornaments.
- Packing tips
- Brussels is a moist, strollable city, so comfortable shoes and an umbrella (preferably retro print) will see you right.
- Also
- Look out for the wall-mounted designer Plexiglass apple-holders dotted around the hotel. No, really. And help yourself to an apple.

- Central city streets
Just 10 minutes from Brussels' Midi Station, you couldn’t wish for a more conveniently situated hotel. But, once inside, you forget the pros and cons of the location – the smart and striking monochrome visuals, coupled with the Barbarella-disc ‘curtains’ and retro furnishings, give Be Manos the sleek, svelte looks of Sixties Soho.
