Description
Hôtel des Douanes has a fascinating industrial heritage.
Designed by famous Belgian architect Ernest Van Humbeek and finished in 1907. It was originally intended as the administrative hub for all customs affairs at Tour & Taxis. Its elongated shape, resembling the Royal Depot, was constructed around a banking hall two stories tall. The structure remains, along with original elements such as the steel columns, concrete roof construction, metal structures supporting the glass roof, panelling on the wallsand solid granite stairs.
Hôtel des Douanes is just a stone’s throw from Brussels-North Railway Station, the most important commuter hub in Brussels and Belgium. Whether by bike, on foot or shuttle no matter how you travel, getting there is a breeze
