Kitchen Trainee

Opened in May 2025, The Standard, Brussels brings 180 rooms, a rooftop garden, and a greenhouseu2011style lobby to the city’s Northern Quarter. Designed as a hub for culture and connection, the hotel blends contemporary hospitality with the brand’s signature edge. Throughout the building, a collection of public and private event spaces hosts a steady rhythm of gatherings, collaborations, and cultural moments. Since 1999, The Standard has focused on thoughtful design, community, and experiences that feel anything but standard.
