Ten years ago, the aim behind the Royal Hamilius was to redesign and boost the centre of Luxembourg-Ville while countering the competition of e-commerce and large shopping centres on its periphery. Mission accomplished, with completion of this huge site providing 16,000 sq.m of shops and eateries, 10,000 sq.m of modern offices, 7,500 sq.m of newgeneration apartments, 2,500 sq.m of leafy public areas between Rue Aldringer and Boulevard Royal. Modifying, forever, the urban scene at the heart of town. This fresh lease of life brought new public transport and vast underground car-parks giving easy access to the shopping and leisure centre. On the new Place Hamilius, the Belgian chain Premium Delhaize has opened a supermarket of 1,500 sq.m. Decathlon, an innovative, connected boutique. The Fnac is already open : all the French chain’s cultural products are thus easily accessible for Luxembourgers. Though the highlight of Royal Hamilius is that temple of fashion, Galeries Lafayette. With 6,500 sq.m on 6 floors dedicated to fashion, beauty and the home, the mall benefits from a gigantic luxury store. Finally, Hamilius proudly hosts Manko, one of today’s most popular restaurants, specializing in Peruvian gastronomy. Luxembourg-Ville can already claim a spectacular facelift!
