The Standard Brussels

Goods Receiving & Stores Clerk

Opening in early 2025, The Standard, Brussels marks the hotel brand’s third outpost in Europe. Set in the city’s Northern Quarter, The Standard, Brussels brings the brand’s design, culture, and activation-driven philosophy to Belgium.

Featuring 200 rooms, suites and apartments rising 28 stories, The Standard, Brussels is a nexus of reinvention. We’re digging deep into the city’s most underrated qualities: music, fashion, contemporary art, technology and more. Beyond waffles and art nouveau, Brussels is one of Europe’s most international cities, teeming with diplomats and ex-pats of more than 180 nationalities. That global exchange of language, culture and ideas finds a new home at The Standard. For the first time, we’ve created longer-stay apartments (with special perks and amenities) for guests visiting Brussels for weeks or months on end.

A ground-floor greenhouse welcomes guests and locals into the lobby where you will find Double Standard, a mash-up of American and Belgian bar food (and a top-notch beer list) to the ground floor, adjacent to our buzzing, mid-mod Lobby Bar. On the 29th floor, our Spanish brasserie captures spectacular views with Rooftop view and Gardens while serving decadent shared plates with Iberian flair. Food and drink create a hub for visitors, business travellers and locals alike to gather, while our calendar of programming brings the fun. Throughout the building, additional public and private event spaces are platforms for happenings.

The Standard, Brussels will welcome a new set of creative, dynamic guests into the brand ethos. In Brussels, The Standard’s signature mix of playful, sophisticated, unexpected hospitality finds roots and resonances in local culture. The simple premise behind The Standard is that it is anything but. Founded in 1999, the goals of every Standard are to up the aesthetic stakes and defy convention while attending to every detail, embracing our local communities, providing a welcoming and inclusive environment for our teams and, of course, delivering a smashing good time for our guests.
