Warwick Hotel Brussels

Nestled amongst the cobbled streets in the heart of Brussels, the grand, distinguished, renovated and historic Warwick Brussels stands just next to the picturesque and world famous Grand Place.

Located 1 block away from the Train Station Gare Centrale, this 4 Star luxury hotel is within a short walk of the renowned Antique District of Le Sablon, Mont des Arts, iconic Manneken Pis and the city’s best restaurants and boutiques, including Pierre Marcolini’s flagship store. Exuding old world charisma and a long tradition of first class service, the Warwick Brussels serves as the ideal focal point to explore the best that the city has to offer. 

The location where the Warwick Brussels stands has a storied past dating back to the early 18th century -  where the Duke of Wellington inspected his troops before departing for the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. Soak in the history of the capital of Europe in our authentic Belgium Brasserie, Chutney’s, or over champagne in our Bubbles Bar.

CRISTAL GLOBAL

General Manager for R&D and Technical Sales Services

The conference is well organised, right duration, right number of attendees. It is coherent, topic focused and allows people from different industries to share common concerns and solutions.

AVENTIS

Vice President, Head of Disease Groups

I have enjoyed the meeting and was in fact very positively surprised. It was very good to get this cross-industry feedback and I took back quite a few refreshing ideas which are worthwhile to follow up. This was definitely no waste of time and I will look forward to E.N.G.’s next meeting.

ASTRAZENECA

Diversity Director Research & Development

The presentations were of very high quality and the atmosphere was one of inclusion rather than competition. The openness with which information was exchanged was unusual and this was critical to the effectiveness of the conference. The audience had as much to contribute as the presenters and it was a refreshing change that they were not only 'talked at' but 'listened to'.

BARILLA

Product Development Director - Soft Categories

It’s a nice way to become more open. And being open is a promise for innovation

DIAGEO

Global Innovation & Brand Change Director

COLBOND
