An emblematic Art Nouveau mansion designed by Belgian architect Victor Horta has opened its doors to the public in Brussels, revealing a long hidden jewel of the city s Belle Epoque glory. It is perhaps even more important in the time of Covid to be able to spend a relaxing moment in the midst of this complete beauty, said Pascal Smet, heritage minister for the Brussels Region.
Smet acted as a guide for a handful of journalists around the Hotel Solvay, a three-storey mansion with a majestic staircase where natural light shines through a multi-coloured stained glass window.

No more waiting for an architecture festival or guided tour: Victor Horta’s masterpiece on Avenue Louise is now open to visitors
The Hôtel Solvay, considered one of Art Nouveau architect Victor Horta’s greatest masterpieces, has been opened to the public. While previously the mansion at Avenue Louise 224 in Ixelles was open only during certain festivals or for guided group tours, it is now open to individual visitors on Thursdays and some Saturdays.
“I am pleased that the Solvay House will now be much more accessible to the public,” said minister-president Rudi Vervoort yesterday during the official opening. “From now on, both Brussels residents and tourists will be able to visit this Art Nouveau masterpiece and take a trip back into time. This opening allows Brussels to further enhance its rich offer of cultural heritage and tourist attractions.”
