Nato

Our Brussels hotel is situated just 5 minutes’ drive from the NATO Headquarters. NATO Headquarters is the political and administrative center of the Alliance and the permanent home of the North Atlantic Council, NATO’s senior political decision-making body. The Headquarter is located at Boulevard Leopold III, 1110 Brussels, Belgium, on the northeast perimeter of the city. It is home to national delegations of member countries and to liaison offices or diplomatic missions of partner countries.

The work of these delegations and missions is supported by NATO’s International Staff and International Military Staff, also based at the Headquarters. NATO’s essential purpose is to safeguard the freedom and security of its members through political and military means. POLITICAL – NATO promotes democratic values and encourages consultation and cooperation on defense and security issues to build trust and, eventually, prevent conflict. MILITARY – NATO is committed to the peaceful resolution of disputes. If diplomatic efforts fail, it has the military capacity needed to undertake crisis-management operations. These are carried out under Article 5 of the Washington Treaty – NATO’s founding treaty – or under a UN mandate, alone or in cooperation with other countries and international organizations.
