I was travelling in Eurostar’s Plus cabin<\/a>, but thanks to my Amex Platinum I gained access to their Premier lounge at Brussels, which I will review briefly today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Eurostar station in Brussels is quite small and can be seen in its entirety at a glance. Design of the passenger lounge is very impractical: you walk through the duty-free shop to reach the waiting area, but to board, you have to re-enter the duty-free shop and exit from a different gate. So, when it’s time to board, the queue clogs up the shop and causes a big chaos.<\/p>\n\n\n

The lounge is not very large, but it\u2019s really trendy and beautiful, far outshining the ones in London and Paris!<\/p>\n\n\n

The seating arrangement features three different colours, adding a variety to the aesthetics, and the quality is excellent.<\/p>\n\n\n

The wine cabinet is beautiful, and there\u2019s a well-made wine list. Are these fine wines? I have no idea.<\/p>\n\n\n

What sets it apart from London and Paris is the lack of a staffed bar. There\u2019s a so-called automatic cocktail machine, but if I\u2019m not mistaken, it\u2019s been broken for a long time\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n

The lounge doesn\u2019t offer much in terms of food, but only some very simple snacks. When I was in London, there were some cold canapes presumably because it happened to be around mealtime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like the London and Paris lounges, don’t visit the Brussels Eurostar Premier Lounge with an empty stomach as you won’t be fed, and there isn’t much to do in here either. It is however a nice place to relax before your journey and definitely much better than the passenger lounge outside.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
