Corinthia Grand Hotel Brussels
Royal Wanderlust
For over a century, the Astoria Grand Hotel has stood as a testament to aristocratic elegance in Brussels. Nestled majestically in the Rue Royale, its grandeur transcends time, captivating the world’s elite since the debut of the Universal Exposition of 1910. Newly reborn as the Corinthia Brussels, the hotel fuses classical European grandeur with an artistic approach to hospitality, reemerging as a vibrant hub for the city’s creative community.
ArtLink curated an art collection that honours the hotel’s rich cultural heritage while embracing the energy and sophistication of contemporary Brussels. Featuring works inspired by the city’s historic aesthetic and its thriving local art scene, the collection bridges past and present, inviting guests to experience Brussels in an entirely new light.
Interlacing Memories
Within the iconic walls, the curated art collection breathes new life into the Royale experience, blending historical significance with contemporary savoir-faire. Inspired by the enduring grandeur of La Belle Époque, the collection features classic European elegance while embracing contemporary sensibilities.

A collection of 29 commissioned works offers an artistic introduction to the city of Brussels. Each piece draws inspiration from the city’s iconic landmarks and architectural heritage. Adorning the hotel’s corridors, the collection transports guests on a captivating journey through the rich cultural tapestry of the city.
Celebrating Local Art
For Corinthia Brussels, reflecting the unique character of its location was essential to the reemergence of the Grand Hotel as a vibrant hub for the city’s creative community. Embracing an artistic approach to hospitality, Corinthia Brussels sought a collection that would showcase the vitality of Brussels' contemporary art scene.
ArtLink sourced works from talented local Brussels artists, weaving the city’s artistic energy into every corner of the hotel. This integration of locality and artistry ensures that Corinthia Brussels stands as both a tribute to its past and a beacon for creative expression today.

Chords of Belgium’s Past
Sound has the power to evoke vivid imagery, transporting us through time and space. To honor Belgium’s rich cultural history, a special commission was created for this collection, blending music and art into a multi-dimensional homage. Artist Baldvin Ringstad transformed the soundwave of the iconic Jacques Brel song "La Chanson des Vieux Amants" into the intricate pattern for this sculpture. Each curve and line resonates with the essence of Belgian heritage, offering a visual and auditory journey into the nation’s soul. Listen below to immerse yourself fully in the experience.
