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.
Food & drink
- Hotel restaurant
- Gleaming monochrome and illuminated with shimmering, bubbly chandeliers, Be Lella cooks up a hearty and harmonious marriage of French and Belgian cuisine, with some excellent seafood and melt-in-the-maw Blanc-bleu Belge beef.

- Park yourselves on the curved white banquette on the corner table for some premium people watching.

- Room service
- Meals and snacks are available in room between 7am and 11pm.
- Hotel bar
- Both the lobby bar and the guests-only Black Lounge are dressed in Be Manos’ signature monochrome, hung with tinkling veils of silver disks that throw kaleidoscopic patterns on the walls. The Black Lounge leads out onto a timber-decked terrace.
