In 1930, Hotel Le Plaza, a few steps away from the famous Théâtre de la Monnaie and the stock exchange, was inaugurated. The architect, Michel Polak, used "the Four Seasons -  Georges V Hotel" in Paris as his inspiration: French facades in ‘pierres de France’, high ceilings and extensive spaces contributed to create the refined elegance of this exclusive luxury hotel, which quickly became a place of rendez-vous, stopover and holiday for the aristocracy and stars.

Following a break of 20 years due to major urban redevelopment, Hotel Le Plaza was reborn in 1996 at the instigation of its proprietor, the Baron van Gysel de Meise, who was committed to restoring the luxury hotel while conserving its original features.

10 years after its reopening, Hotel Le Plaza is once more one of the finest private luxury hotels in Europe.
