Appartement 2 chambres avec rooftop suspendu au Cimetière d’Ixelles Overview

First Impressions

When I first spotted the Appartement 2 chambres avec rooftop suspendu au Cimetière d’Ixelles, I’ll admit the name made me do a double-take — yes, it’s literally suspended above Ixelles Cemetery. But honestly, this turned out to be one of the most unexpectedly charming stays I’ve had in Brussels. The location might sound quirky, but there’s something genuinely peaceful about overlooking this historic green space, and the four-star apartment delivers way more character than your typical hotel room. The suspended rooftop alone sets it apart from standard accommodations in the city.

The Space Itself

This place is essentially a full two-bedroom apartment with that famous suspended rooftop — and trust me, the rooftop is the real star here. You’ve got proper living space to spread out, a functional kitchen that actually works (I made coffee every morning without any drama), and those two separate bedrooms mean you’re not cramped if you’re traveling with friends or family. The whole setup feels more like borrowing a local’s really cool flat than staying in tourist accommodation. Every corner has been thoughtfully designed for comfort and practicality.

That Rooftop Experience

Look, I know the cemetery location sounds weird, but the suspended rooftop is actually brilliant. You’re floating above this surprisingly beautiful, tree-lined cemetery that feels more like a park than anything spooky. Morning coffee up there became my daily ritual — there’s something oddly meditative about the view, and you get these glimpses of Brussels’ rooftops stretching out beyond. Evening drinks work even better, especially when the light hits just right. It’s a truly unique vantage point you won’t find anywhere else in the city.

Ixelles Neighborhood

Ixelles is honestly one of Brussels’ best-kept secrets for visitors. You’re in this perfectly local neighborhood that doesn’t feel touristy at all, but you can still walk to the city center in about 20 minutes. The Rue Général Thys area has this authentic Brussels vibe — there’s a great bakery two blocks away, some solid local cafés, and you’re close enough to Avenue Louise for shopping if that’s your thing. I actually preferred staying here over the more central areas because it felt real and genuine. The neighborhood offers an authentic experience that most tourists never discover.

Why Guests Love It

The 8.5 rating makes total sense once you experience the place — it’s that rare find that’s both practical and memorable. Couples especially seem to get it (and honestly, I can see why), but the two-bedroom setup works for different travel styles. The combination of having your own space, that unique rooftop, and being in a genuinely local neighborhood creates something special. Plus, there’s parking available, which anyone who’s driven in Brussels will tell you is basically a miracle. It’s got personality and comfort in a way that feels authentically Brussels, making it an exceptional choice for discerning travelers.
