Ixelles is a little bit out from the historic centre of Brussels — a 30 to 40-minute walk away — but that's part of the charm. This is Brussels as the locals experience it, from the cute cafes and designer boutiques lining Avenue Louise and Chaussée d'Ixelles, to the Art Deco houses — like that of the Horta Museum — that so characterise Ixelles. You can't stay here without a stroll through Ixelles Ponds, a delightful park surrounded by the beautiful Art Nouveau architecture, and no stay is complete without a visit to the farmers' market on Flagey Square. Whether you're in Brussels for a spot of retail therapy, a romantic break or a sightseeing foray, we've got you covered in this list of the best hotels in Ixelles. Our pick of the properties includes two delightful stays: a small boutique with sultry rooms and candlelit, fine dining, and a stylish home-away-from-home close to Place Flagey.
A home-away-from-home
![Made in Louise](https://www.thehotelguru.com/_images/39/c2/39c2d5145575e7de15d1e763d882b561/600x422.jpg)
- Made in Louise makes you feel as if you're staying in someone's home, and a very stylish home at that. Nestled on a quiet street, the rooms are understated but chic with their pale-painted furniture, vintage touches, and Lloyd Loom-style chairs. Best of all, it's close to the Place Flagey, with its Art Deco bars, and the shopping area Avenue Louise.
- Maison Flagey is a charming B&B in an Art Nouveau building, just a stone's throw from Place Flagey. Rooms have been sympathetically styled with plenty of period touches and most come with a private balcony. Homely and welcoming.
For romance

- Odette en Ville is a romantic favourite, for good reason. The rooms are dark and sultry, with marble bathrooms, and the fine dining restaurant is simply superb. A seductive stay that delivers on many levels.
