# Chocolate-Inspired Accommodations The Concept Hotel in Brussels Offers Rustic Luxury By Meghan Young | Published 2013-03-30 | World Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/concept-hotel References: [psfk](http://www.psfk.com/2013/03/chocolate-factory-hotel.html) & [concepthotel.be](http://www.concepthotel.be/) The Concept Hotel should be renamed the Chocolate Hotel since it is inspired by the [rich desert](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-coffee-tasting). Residing above a chocolate shop, it embraces a [rustic sense of luxury](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-brecon) that beautifully encapsulates the feel, flavor and overall essence of chocolate. A cozy set of accommodations meant to house excess guests from its larger sister, Le Coup De Coeur, the Concept Hotel could easily become a first choice amongst visitors, if only because they must first pass through the [chocolate boutique](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/love-cocoa-store) below to access the winding stairs up to the rooms. The Concept Hotel is comprised of only three big bedrooms and a shared living room and kitchen. More of a B&B, it has a homey, exclusive feel that will make people feel as though they are staying with friends. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 38% | Activity: 38% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [World](https://www.trendhunter.com/world) > [Hip Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/hiphotels) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Chocolate-inspired Hospitality:** Hotels and resorts that incorporate chocolate in their branding and design can create a unique and memorable experience for guests. - **Rustic Luxury:** Hotels and accommodations that embrace a rustic aesthetic while still providing luxurious amenities can attract visitors seeking a cozy and comfortable stay. - **Exclusive B&bs:** Small, exclusive bed and breakfasts that offer a personalized and homey atmosphere can cater to travelers seeking a more intimate and customized experience. ### Where This Applies - **Hospitality:** The hospitality industry can leverage the popularity of chocolate to create unique and memorable accommodations. - **Interior Design:** Interior designers can incorporate rustic and luxurious elements in their designs to cater to the growing demand for comfort and coziness in hospitality spaces. - **Travel:** Small and exclusive lodging options can attract travelers looking for a personalized and unique travel experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Mountainside-Inspired Bespoke Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bouchardon-hotel.md) - [Screen-Printed Chocolate Tiled Rooms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-room-1.md) - [Chocolate Honoring Museums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-chocolate-story.md) - [Cocktail-Inspired Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grand-mimosa-chocolate-selector.md) - [Chocolate-Inspired Restaurant Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lindt-and-gia.md) - [Whimsically Designed Hotel Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cowley-manor-experimental.md) - [Anti-Luxury Hotel Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chopard-1.md) - [Artisan Drinking Chocolate Mixes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hotel-chocolat-drinking-chocolates.md) - [Village-Luke Charming Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/botree-hotel.md)
