Heritage and luxury reunited at Corinthia Brussels
LAUFEN INO freestanding bathtubs enhance the restored elegance of Corinthia Grand Hotel Astoria Brussels, where heritage meets contemporary refinement.
Following an extensive four-year restoration, Corinthia Grand Hotel Astoria Brussels reclaims its place among Europe’s most distinguished luxury hotels. Originally designed by Belgian architect Henri Van Dievoet and opened in 1909, the landmark has long been associated with elegance, hospitality and cultural significance. Guided by architect Francis Metzger, the restoration carefully preserves the building’s exceptional Belle Époque identity while introducing a contemporary vision of comfort, craftsmanship and refined living.
Located in Brussels’ prestigious Royal District, Corinthia Grand Hotel Astoria Brussels offers guests an experience where heritage and modern refinement exist in harmony. The restored interiors celebrate the building’s architectural legacy through carefully curated materials, elegant proportions and a timeless design language. This thoughtful approach extends throughout the guestrooms and suites, where every element has been selected to create a serene and sophisticated atmosphere.
Sculptural elegance in the bathrooms
The same attention to detail defines the hotel’s bathrooms, where refined materials and considered design elements create spaces dedicated to comfort and tranquillity. The INO freestanding bathtubs from LAUFEN introduce a sculptural presence through their soft silhouette, balanced proportions and minimalist expression. Seamlessly integrated into the elegant interiors, the bathtubs enhance the sense of understated luxury while reflecting the timeless character of the restored landmark.
