Brussels' Pantone Hotel is Like a Little Embassy for Colors

Oh man—we haven't checked in on Brussels' new Pantone Hotel in almost a full year, but it looks like the New York Times is even slower, since the colorful hotel only just hit their radar.

The Times' T Magazine takes a deeper look inside the hotel, including its beanbag-outfitted roofdeck, mod lounge and appropriately vibrant breakfast buffet. There's not a review, per se, but they do state something we absolutely agree with, and that's the fact that Brussels suffers from a lack of cool hotels like this. The Pantone is filling a need there, and its rooms from $137 including free WiFi are hopefully a hit.

We did learn something new from the NYT however, and that's that the hotel functions as a kind of Pantone embassy, where you can purchase Pantone-branded products or have a sit-down to flip through a small library "where guests can read about color therapy if they’re feeling blue." We're kinda blue that this hotel had to open just after our last visit to Belgium.

Perhaps a year late

But doesn't hotelchatter deliver news based on press releases? Did anyone from this website really travel to Brussels last May to review the hotel on the day it opened?

confused

I'm confused by your question here. First, yes we were traveling around Belgium last year but didn't stop in to the Pantone Hotel, merely reported on its existence here: http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2010/5/20/9015/44748/hotels/We_re_Dye_ing_Over_The_Pantone_Hotel_i n_Brussels This story is a check-up on the hotel, since the NYT seems to have gotten more images. Also, although sometimes we take tips from press releases, we try to ignore the majority of them and get news by being out there and traveling about ourselves.
