Hôtel Max Hallet: where the Belle Époque comes to life
Victor Horta's Art Nouveau masterpiece waiting to be discovered
Between 1903 and 1905, Victor Horta built this elegant mansion on Avenue Louise, commissioned by Max Hallet, a socialist lawyer and politician, and his wife, Mrs. Timberman, daughter of a wealthy liberal family. The relatively narrow 14-meter plot gave Horta the opportunity to combine his distinctive Art Nouveau style with functional elegance, forming an important link between his early work and his later masterpieces.
Since the building was listed in 1975, it has been carefully restored in several phases. Thanks to these interventions, the mansion has regained its original grandeur and now serves once again as a magnificent reception venue. The original details, from the elegant staircase to the refined woodwork, make a visit an intimate experience of Horta's style and craftsmanship.
During this tour, you will discover the interior of one of Horta's lesser-known gems and gain insight into the architecture, the rich history of the house, and the context of Brussels during the Belle Époque. The owners' passion for preserving and decorating the building makes this visit unique, seamlessly combining art, history, and architecture.
