Brussels Hidden Gem: Hôtel Solvay – Victor Horta's Ultimate Art Nouveau Masterpiece.

 

Nestled on Avenue Louise, the Hôtel Solvay (1895–1903) is Victor Horta's most lavish creation, a UNESCO-listed townhouse built for the Solvay family with unlimited budget and freedom.

Sinuous ironwork, curved facades, exotic woods, custom furniture, and a breathtaking grand staircase (with mosaic murals and stained glass) make it a total work of art. Recently restored (facade unveiled in 2024), it's now open as a museum, we were fortunate to have our hosts bag us timed tickets for the Saturday, as spaces are limited. .
