Novotel Charleroi Centre

Brussels / Belgium

Sleep and relaxation come to the fore in the design of Novotel Charleroi

Centre, the first Novotel of the latest generation in Belgium. The hotel is

right in the heart of the action, located on the second floor of the Riv

e

Gauche shopping centre and surrounded by the bustle of shops, restau-

rants and bars, and with a unique roof terrace high above the city. Step

inside however and a soft, cocooning atmosphere invites guests to

shake off the stresses of the streets below. The public areas, with inte-

riors created by Dintérieur, feature wood and warm colors to form an

intimate, atmospheric space. Each bedroom features a bed

­

designed

by

Novotel, and décor that mixes large-scale images of the natural world

with soothing neutral colors and materials. Created according to th

e

Novotel brand’s latest concept, the bedrooms also make a feature of

their open-plan bathrooms, meaning that the fittings chosen had to fit

seamlessly with the calming, modern feel of the bedrooms, as well as

offering ultimate performance. Rainshower SmartControl shower sys

-

tems provide guests with a shower experience of comfort and luxury,

while the sleek, minimal lines of the Essence basin mixer match th

e

clean-lined, tactile look of the bedroom-bathroom spaces.
