The town hall is a detached, block-shaped building with a rectangular floor plan and measures 18 by 22 m. The facade consists of brick and is finished with limestone for the plinth, the corner blocks and the window frames. The front facade has seven bays, both side facades have six bays and the rear facade has five bays. The building consists of three floors and is covered by a hipped roof in slate. In each of the four facades, the central bay forms a risalit lined with corner stones. The risalit of the front facades is three bays wide and is crowned with a triangular pediment with a tympanum filling in limestone. The pediment shows the motto Deus voluit (God disposes) and the coat of arms of George Lodewijk van Bergen, the Prince-Bishop of Liège. During the Liège Revolution, the coat of arms was partially damaged.

The restored 18th-century town hall is an eye-catcher in the historic heart of the center. The Liège-style building stands out because of its red kaleidoscope. Be sure to look at the subtle artwork by Wesley Meuris in the pediment, which refers to the building's turbulent past. The town hall can be visited with a city guide.

The new town hall was built on the site of the destroyed cloth hall. The town hall was probably designed by the Liège architect Pascal Barbier. The Liège style shines through in the architecture of the building and the typical combination of blue stone and red limewash. The Tongeren town hall also shows many similarities with other buildings attributed to Barbier, such as the Prince-Bishop's Palace in Seraing (1724) and the abbot's house of Saint-Laurent in Liège (1727). Today, the town hall is located on a beautiful open square.
