History
The high ceilings and cloisters incorporated into the design of the hotel are reminiscent of the Dominican Abbey which stood here back in the 15th century.
The site was also home to the renowned French painter Jacques-Louis David. After his death in Brussels in 1825, the house he lived in was named after him and it was here that he completed his last great masterpiece, Mars Disarmed by Venus and the Three Graces. The original façade of the house has remained intact and been incorporated into the design of The Dominican.
