HOTEL LE BERGER 24, rue du Berger, 1050 Brussels
After 18 months of restoration works, the reopening of the mythical Hôtel Le Berger is planned on January 28, 2012.
Hôtel Le Berger, constructed in 1935 as a ‘rendez-vous hotel’, reopens its doors after a complete restoration. The hotel, with its Art Deco decoration and intimate atmosphere, has preserved its interior, until its closure on December 31, 2009.
At the beginning of 2010, the Hôtel Le Berger was bought by Jean-Michel André for the hotel group that also owns The White Hotel in Brussels (www.thewhitehotel.be) and the Château de la Poste in Maillen (www.chateaudelaposte.be). The restoration works took place some months later. The architect of the restoration project is Olivia Gustot (www.oliviagustot.com). Martina Nievergelt (www.m-nievergelt.ch) from Switzerland was in charge of the interior design.
The owners tried to preserve as many elements as possible to maintain the cinematographic atmosphere of the decoration of the 30s. The emblematic features from the rendez- vous hotel have been maintained: a double elevator in order not to cross each other, an open bathroom, suggestive decoration, mirrors at the sides of the bathtub, etc.
The hotel is being completely renewed in order to respond to XXIe century demands regarding comfort and safety. Hence, Jean-Michel André wants to offer the visitors a stay in a mythical atmosphere from the past while guaranteeing present- day comfort. Hôtel Le Berger will be a unique place in Brussels that has nothing to do with the clinical and generic decoration one often comes across in hotel chains.
The hotel will count 50 rooms. On the ground floor, there is a restaurant, offering place for 60 guests. There will also be a terrace and a winter garden. The menu is in accordance with the culture of this old Brussels neighbourhood.
