Your next go-to spot for Brussels by night?
As the sun begins to set over Brussels, there is ONE place to be: the Rooftop LILA 29, perched on the 29th floor of the brand-new Standard Hotel Brussels, in the North Quarter.
The famous New York-based group The Standard (New York, London, Bangkok, Ibiza, Miami…) has set up shop in Brussels, and it has chosen the sky to do so.
What can you see from this 360° skyline view?
From the rooftop, you can take in all of Brussels at a glance:
- 🏙️ The Proximus Tower, the WTC, and the Rogier Tower lighting up at dusk
- 🌳 Maximilien Park and the rooftops of the Pentagon district
- ✨ In the distance, the Atomium sparkling on clear evenings
The atmosphere is premium lounge: low-slung sofas, lanterns, Mediterranean plants, and early evening DJ sets. Signature cocktails are around €16-18, with a short but sharp menu and Mediterranean tapas for nibbling.
When is the best time for a sunset view?
- Arrive around 7-7:30 PM: you’ll catch the sunset over the towers
- 8:30-10 PM: the skyline lights up, and the magic happens
- Booking is recommended on weekends and bank holidays via the official website
LILA 29: Address and practical information
About The Standard Hotel Brussels
Founded in Los Angeles and now a global benchmark for lifestyle hotels (New York Meatpacking, London King’s Cross, Bangkok Mahanakhon, Hua Hin, Ibiza, Maldives, Bangkok, Singapore, Miami), The Standard is renowned for its iconic rooftops. The Brussels opening is therefore a significant move: the capital is joining the league of major By Night cities.
The building itself — the redesigned former Manhattan Center tower — has in a few months become one of the most shared Instagram photo spots in Brussels.
Our verdict: A top rooftop in the North Quarter
A rooftop worthy of the greatest capital cities, just 5 minutes from Gare du Nord, accessible by metro (Rogier / Yser), and one that is finally changing the image of the North Quarter. For Brussels By Night, this is the place to be this Monday evening.
