The hotel was built in the 1960s on the Boulevard de Waterloo in Brussels, a shopping area running from the Louise Gate to the Namur Gate. It was one of the first international hotels to be built in Brussels. At that time, the buildings along Boulevard de Waterloo/Waterloolaan were all in neo-Rococo, neoclassical or neo-Renaissance styles. The hotel building, however, caused a rupture with those styles being a massive tower containing 27 floors. The architect agency that designed the building was Montois Partners Architects, an agency located in Brussels.

The 94-metre-high hotel is the highest public viewpoint in Brussels. The building is one of the most widely recognised sky-high building on the skyline of Brussels. When city officials decided that for the long-term tall buildings should disappear in Brussels, they opted not to include the hotel on the list with buildings to be removed. This decision proves that the building has become a landmark, and a part of Brussels' city centre.

In March 2014, U.S. President Barack Obama and his entourage rented a total of 283 rooms of this and another hotel in the city (Crowne Plaza) during a single overnight visit to Brussels, with the president staying at The Hotel Brussels.

Until September 2013 the hotel is to be fully redecorated by GCA Arquitectos Asociados, a Spanish architect bureau.
