Brussels Flower Carpet Cocktail & Viewing (14 Aug 2026)

Fri, 14 Aug 2026 17:30:00 GMT

BRUSSELS FLOWER CARPET AND LIGHT SHOW

An ephemeral show on the world's most beautiful square

14 August 19:30 - 20:30

Roy D'Espagne, 45 rue au Beurre (side street entrance), Prestige Room 3rd floor.

Join us for a unique evening to enjoy the Flower carpet, from the Roy D'Espagne, with a glass of cava, a cocktail and small bites and the best views to take pictures on Friday 14 August at 19:30!

For this 24th edition of the Flower Carpet, 160 years of diplomatic and friendly relations between Belgium and Japan will be celebrated. From 13 to 16 August, the iconic Japanese artwork 'The Great Wave of Kanagawa' by artist Hokusai will be recreated using 500,000 dahlias, covering an area of nearly 1,300 square metres.

The flower carpet on the Grand-Place in Brussels is the ultimate expression of ephemeral art, as the work is destined to disappear after just four days on show. Every two years, on the weekend of 15 August, the most beautiful Grand-Place in the world is transformed into an immense showcase of colors, to the delight of visitors aged 7 to 77.

The Flower Carpet is 70 m long by 24 m wide. 1,680 m2 of begonias, dahlias, grass and bark. More than a hundred volunteers assemble the carpet in less than six hours. The first Flower Carpet of Brussels was created in 1971 and has been a showstopper every two years on the Grand- Place since 1986.

As the sun goes down, a synchronized sound and light show illuminates the square's historic Gothic facades, beautifully accentuating the flowers

Wine Tasting -

OLD WORLD VS NEW WORLD BLIND TASTING

SEPTEMBR 17th · 7:30 - 10:30pm

For September, we invite you to blind wine tasting of New World and Old World wines that promises to be both educational and fun.

We will taste eight wines -- four white and four red -- in pairs. For each pair, one of the wines will be from Europe, and the other will be made from the same grapes, and if possible be from the same vintage, but be made somewhere else in the world.

The tasting will show how the same grapes can produce very different results in different regions and terroirs, and test your skills identifying both the grape varieties and the regions from which the wines come.

To make things fun, we'll declare a winner for each round and an overall winner at the end, Old World or New World.

The wines will be paired with plenty of good food. Vegetarian and vegan options are available.

The tasting will take place at the Comptoir Rodin in Ixelles and is limited to the first 30 people who register.

Full refunds are available for cancellations up to 48 hours in advance.

ACB Final Friday Cocktails (25 Sep 2026)

Fri, 25 Sep 2026 16:30:00 GMT

JOIN US FOR OUR FINAL FRIDAY IN A BEAUTIFUL BAR AND PATIO OF A HOTEL RICH IN HISTORY

SEPTEMBER 25TH @6.30PM

HOTEL THE DOMINICAN

RUE LEOPOLD 9

1000 BRUSSELS

The Dominican hasn’t always been the hotel you know and love today. The unpretentious façade guards a wealth of history influenced by religion and the arts. If the walls and arches could talk, you would be thrown back many centuries in the past.

The year was 1465. Upon the initiative of Duchess Isabella of Portugal and after approval from Pope Calixtus III, a monastery was born. To the duchess’ consternation the prestigious order of Dominican friars was not yet represented in the capital. The cloister expanded with the purchase of more land throughout the years. And eventually, it also got patronized by the highest nobility. Under the Brussels Republic, conspiracies and incendiary sermons led to a banishment of the Dominican friars on April 22nd 1581. The cloister was demolished for a first time in 1583 but it didn’t take long for the friars to return.

It was the French revolution that heralded a final blow to the Dominican friars in Brussels. The last 36 friars got expelled on November 12th 1796. The cloister went to auction as a national heritage in February 1797.

The year was 1816 when the neo classical French painter Jacques-Louis David arrived in Brussels and chose to establish himself in the Leopold Street . After his death in Brussels on December 29th 1825, the house he lived in was named after him. The original façade of his home has remained intact and was integrated into the design of the hotel.

Nestled within the lofty arches is a blissful garden with its inviting terrace under the spectacular fig tree. This patio is one of the city’s premier and most charming outdoor settings, equally wonderful for a sunny hang out or a starry night with easy going music and familiar faces.

Wine Tasting -

ROSES FOR ANY REASON

Thursday October 15th · 7:30 - 10:30pm

On the 15th of October, join us and winemaker Petros Fotopoulos to discover and celebrate Greek rosés, but also to learn why rosés are not just something for warm weather and barbecues, but arguably the most versatile of wines that go with any season and lots of different kinds of food.

FT wine critic Jancis Robinson has called this "an age of rosé." She's also a big fan of Greek wines, which include many "serious wines that could be drunk as aperitifs but would probably be even more at home with food – and not just a spinach and feta spanakopita or stuffed vine leaf."

We’ll sample at least eight great rosés. The wines will be expertly paired with generous plates of good Greek food (Vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free options available). Petros will take us on a virtual tour of the wineries that produced the wines we'll be serving.

Participation is limited to 25 participants for this tasting, so reserve your spot early! Full refunds are available for cancellations up to 48 hours in advance.

SOLVAY HOUSE TOUR

Due to popular demand we are organizing a second tour of this beautiful Belgian landmark

The American Club of Brussels invites you for an exceptional tour of this uniquely beautiful landmark of Art Nouveau in Brussels.

Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Monument, the Solvay House is a part of the major Town Houses of the Architect Victor Horta.

In 1894, Armand Solvay, the chemistry magnate, son of the chemist, industrialist and philanthropist Ernest Solvay engaged Horta's services, granting him unlimited freedom of creation and unrestricted funding to bring to fruition the project of a home for his bride in Art Nouveau style. It is located on 224 Avenue Louise.

It was added to the UNESCO World Heritage list in 2000 as the core of urban residences that Horta designed before 1900.

For this wealthy patron, Horta could spend a fortune on precious materials and expensive details. He designed every single detail: furniture, carpets, light fixtures, tableware and even the doorbell. He used expensive materials such as marble, onyx, bronze, tropical woods, and more.

The construction lasted 5 years.

Join us on a guided visit of this major realization of Victor Horta in Brussels. Don't miss it!

in the heart of Brussels!"

This year, our annual ACB Holiday Reception takes place in one of the Grand Place's most legendary settings — the historic Roy d'Espagne. We'll be hosted in their enchanting Christmas Fairies exposition area, a truly magical backdrop for a festive night to remember.

Accessible only through a hidden entrance at 45 Rue au Beurre and with no elevator access, this enchanting winter world immerses visitors into a frozen kingdom in the heart of Brussels Winter Wonders and the famous Christmas Market.

Monumental icy décor, sparkling lights, enchanted winter forests, Christmas music and breathtaking panoramic views over Brussels’ famous Grand Place sound & light show create a truly unforgettable Christmas experience.

As the evening unfolds, enjoy a delicious selection of drinks and finger foods while soaking in the spectacular view of the Grand Place Christmas tree — and if the timing is right, the famous sound and light show in all its glory.

But it's more than just a beautiful setting. This is your chance to raise a glass with familiar faces, meet new members, and make the kind of connections that only happen in a warm, lively holiday atmosphere. Whether you're a long-standing member or joining us for the first time, there's a seat at the table for you.
