In 1894, Armand Solvay, a great admirer of Art Nouveau, commissioned Victor Horta to design his mansion on the prestigious Avenue Louise.

The architect was given carte blanche and an unlimited budget to build the Hôtel Solvay. Thanks to a perfect rapport with the client, Horta was able to bring his artistry to bear, making this house one of his most magnificent creations. On the façade, two symmetrical bow windows rise over two storeys and are topped by balconies. Once inside, Horta used precious materials to create an open-plan interior that was both functional and suited to the customs of the time. He combined 23 types of marble and 17 varieties of wood in shades of red and orange, further enhancing the atmosphere of luxury. Incredibly well-preserved, the Hôtel Solvay is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
