In a city buzzing with European institutions, trams, and markets, there’s a place that keeps a secret: a hidden garden where time slows down. Latroupe Jardin Secret isn’t just a hotel; it’s an urban retreat where greenery, calm, and design come together to create a truly unique experience.
1. Ixelles: A Neighbourhood with Soul
Located in the lively Ixelles district, the hotel sits in one of Brussels’ most authentic areas. Ixelles is known for its multicultural vibe: African markets, French bakeries, Belgian boutiques, and cafés full of students and creatives coexist here. From the hotel, it’s just a short walk to Place Flagey, a local meeting point, or to the Étangs d’Ixelles, two postcard-perfect ponds surrounded by trees.
2. The Garden: A Green Treasure in the City
The heart of Latroupe Jardin Secret is undoubtedly its hidden garden. Sheltered by the hotel walls, it’s a space where mornings smell of freshly brewed coffee and damp grass. Here you can enjoy breakfast outdoors while listening to birdsong, soak up the sun on a lounger, or take a dip in the heated pool.
At night, soft lighting transforms the garden into an intimate space — perfect for a glass of wine before dinner or a quiet conversation under the stars.
3. Close to the Essentials
Within a 15-minute walk, you’ll find the Royal Palace and its gardens, the European Parliament, and museums such as the Museum of Musical Instruments or the Magritte Museum, home to the most iconic works of Belgian surrealism. The location is ideal for exploring on foot or by public transport — from the nearest metro station, you can reach the Grand-Place in minutes.
4. Food and Nightlife
Ixelles is also a paradise for food lovers. Nearby, you’ll find everything from classic brasseries serving mussels and fries, to craft beer bars and international restaurants. If you’re after something truly local, grab a freshly made waffle from a street stall or step into a microbrewery to discover that Brussels is much more than Trappist beer.
5. The Latroupe Experience
At Latroupe Jardin Secret, the philosophy is simple: to offer you a place where every moment of the day has its space. That’s why the rooms are designed for pure rest, the garden for disconnecting, and the neighbourhood for inspiring you. The hotel team is always ready to recommend lesser-known routes, local events, or that small hidden shop only residents know about.
