The Radisson Collection Hotel, Grand Place Brussels is an iconic work of Brussels postmodernism. It was built between 1988 and 1990 by architectural firm Jaspers-Eyers and Atelier d’Art Urbain, two of the leading players in postmodernism, who were behind dozens of well-known buildings in Brussels and elsewhere. The exterior is very much characterised by its architectural, decorative elements and Art Deco details – a reinvented, monumental and showy Art Deco (of the Metropolis genre), made to measure with quality materials, different varieties of stone and marble, oxidised or painted metals, cladding panels printed with symmetrical patterns, projecting eaves and bow windows. This was one of Atelier d’Art Urbain’s early works, but already features its distinctive interpretation of the past. The interior highlight is the large square central atrium crowned by a glass ceiling and boasting panoramic lifts. Originally, everything was bathed in stone-beige and copper-green or blue-green tones, and the columns were covered in copper-green ceramic patterns. Remains of Brussels’ first encircling wall are on display here. These were uncovered in 1973 during the demolition of various 19th- and 20th-century buildings and restored in 1974. They were later rebuilt at this location after collapsing during construction work on the hotel in December 1987. The archaeological remains have been integrated into the recently redeveloped and redecorated interior.
