Bâti en 1776-1777 à l'emplacement de l'ancien palais ducal, l'Hôtel de Belle-Vue servait de résidence aux voyageurs fortunés. Racheté au début du XXe siècle par la Fondation de la Couronne, il fut intégré dans le complexe du nouveau palais royal et hébergea dès lors différents membres de la famille royale. Récemment rénové, cet élégant immeuble classique conçu selon les prescriptions architecturales édictées pour l'ensemble de la place Royale abrite aujourd'hui des collections retraçant l'histoire de la royauté belge de 1831 à nos jours ainsi que le "Mémorial Roi Baudouin" consacré tout particulièrement à ce souverain.

Built in 1776-1777 on the site of the former ducal palace, the Belle-Vue Hotel was initially a residence for rich travellers. Bought at the beginning of the XX century by the Crown Foundation, it was integrated in the building complex of the new royal palace and accommodated various members of the royal family. Today, after a recent renovation, this elegant classical building, designed according to the architectural principles prescribed for the entire Royal Square, features collections recounting the history of the Belgian royal family from 1831 until today, as well as the King Baudouin Memorial dedicated more specifically to this monarch.
