Faubourg 21 / Chaga

Noisette/ Ré

Tucked away in the heart of Brussels, Faubourg 21 is the smallest grand luxury hotel, set within a 19th-century building and offering just 20 meticulously curated rooms. Conceived as an intimate destination, it brings together Noisette, its all-day café, Chaga, its fine dining restaurant, and Ré Labo de Beauté, a luxury wellness spa.

Initiated by Sandra Otero and shaped with chef Kasper Kurdahl and brand strategist Kate Stockman, the project reflects a future-focused vision of luxury. Behind its elegant façade unfolds a realm of discreet indulgence — from gastronomy and wellness to a speakeasy and secret garden — overlooking the Belgian capital.

This idea of discovery was further embodied in the visual identity — an ever-blooming flower that evokes the heritage of the location with a touch of the surreal. A gift that slowly reveals itself the longer you linger.

Chaga

Perched on the fourth floor, Chaga, the fine dining restaurant developed in close collaboration with Kasper Kurdahl, offers a more contemplative atmosphere. Named after the medicinal mushroom, Chaga is expressed through a muted palette, restrained typography, and a custom monogram applied across ceramics, textiles, and print.

Together, Faubourg 21, Bistra Noisette, Chaga, form a coherent hospitality universe. Rooted in intimacy and a slower rhythm, the project invites guests to retreat inward and rediscover the great indoors.

Noisette

Bistra Noisette, the hotel’s all-day café, introduces a playful and welcoming tone. Inspired by the café noisette, the brand identity transforms a falling drop of milk into a graphic signature, paired with a bold red-and-white palette and hand-drawn illustrations that reinterpret Brussels café culture with a contemporary edge.

Ré

Designed as a series of intimate, boudoir-like spaces, the spa offers personalised rituals and sensory treatments in partnership with the Swiss skincare house Valmont. Hidden within the townhouse, Ré extends the quiet and refined atmosphere of Faubourg 21 into a timeless wellness experience.
