Centre Travel

Just two minutes walk from the Eurostar station, walking through the door of 'The Art of running Away' is like entering a luxury oasis. Michel Tepic and Frederic Devalck live on the ground floor of this huge, rambling townhouse, and have created five fantasy guestrooms, each named after a movie and decorated in a different style 'Farinelli' is a riot of baroque antiques, "Indochine" is filled with red lacquer furniture, while 'Absolutely Fabulous' is a treasure trove of kitsch seventies decor. Guests have the use of comfy lounge with leather armchairs and a grand fireplace. Rue de Suede 38 Tel:   0478 695944         www.artdelafugue.com

Carmelo Miraglia decided to christen his b&b after Belgium's most famous product, and the chocolate theme is not just at breakfast, where you can feast off delicious 'pains au chocolat' and a steaming cup of 'chocolat chaud', but also to the decor of the rooms. Each floor of this red brick Victorian house has been converted into a guest apartment - bedroom, bathroom and kitchen/lounge - and the colour scheme is a rich chocolate -brown that gets darker each floor that you go up. Carmelo is a professional masseur, so you can also book a hot stone massage or reflexology session. Address: rue des Commercants, 55 Tel: 0486 267223 www.brussels-at-heart.be
