The Hotel Amigo, a Rocco Forte hotel situated in the center of Brussels, has introduced the Diane von Furstenberg Suite in tribute to the well-known Belgian-American fashion designer. Adorned with her signature style, the suite features a striking zebra rug, two large silk scarves created by Andy Warhol, and an impressive collection of artwork that honors her remarkable legacy.
