Trip Report – Holiday Inn Brussels–Schuman

October 23, 2015 By Anna Leave a Comment

As we’ve just added details of Travel Industry Discounts for IHG, we thought it may be pertinent to offer a trip report of one of their hotels we recently took advantage of a great rate at – the Holiday Inn Brussels–Schuman.

Brussels was not necessarily a destination of choice, more a case that a spare non-working weekend popped up, so thought it would be good to test some of the offers out there.

However, with last minute Eurostar spaces non-existent it came down to finding any destination that had availability using some spare Avios (or the newish term for BA Airmiles). Having recently visited Paris and Amsterdam, the two other options with plenty of availability a promise of frites and beer had us booking up Belgium’s capital. And despite warnings of impending tedium – it turned out to be a fantastic stay memorable of course for the copious frites and frambois beer.

Anyway, with flights booked, and Brussels being primarily a business hub, there were no shortage of last minute industry discounted hotels. However, we plumped for the Holiday Inn Brussels – Schuman – for easy access to the metro, and so it would be re-assuredly quiet over the weekend being in the ‘EU District’ – and with a lovely range of local bars and restaurants nearby.

A large family room identical to the room we had (without the mess!)

Industry rates rarely include breakfast (which would have been an outrageous E15 a night each), but for the rooms rates were 30% off the best available rates (we paid €60 a night) – for a lovely, large and newly renovated room. The hotel lift wasn’t working for renovation (we’re been prepared having seen a couple of recent Trip Advisor reviews) – but we were on the 1^st floor so happy with this.

The area was *deathly* quiet at the weekend, but that was ideal – you could be in the centre of town in under 20 minutes, and yet it was a short stroll to the Cinquantenaire for a lovely Sunday morning walk.

Heartily recommend – especially seeing as outside of EU summits there seem to be consistent availability of industry rates.

Link: IHG Agent Website

We’ve a huge amount we’re planning to add over the coming months over all aspects of Travel Industry Discounts. We’ve plenty of exclusive hotel deals and discounts, a focus on the best car hire options, insurance, how to get your flights on BA for peanuts (and the wonderful world of Avios!) and many other things.

One of the things we’re most often asked concerns airport hotels – so we’ve planned a series looking at all major UK airports – and the discounts they offer. Of course we’ll be looking at the Tour Operators that specialise in Travel Industry deals (like Touchdown) or have a healthy range of offers as a sideline (like Superbreaks and Holiday Extras).

And of course, we’ve a few reviews of hotels that have been particularly agent friendly – a lovely stay at the Hilton Brighton will be coming next week!

However, we’d love to hear from you regarding what you would like to see us feature, or aspects of your holiday you may be struggling to find discounted rates for?

You can leave comments, e-mail us at [email protected] or tweet us at @tidiscounts

Remember that we’re not selling anything, we just collate and share information (yes this is just a sideline from our travel day jobs!) – so your input and shared deals will only help your peers in this wonderful industry of ours!

As ever, thanks for reading.
