The launch marks the second Radisson Collection property in Belgium and highlights the brand's ongoing commitment to exceptional design, responsible hospitality and curated guest experiences in key European locations.Set in a green and tranquil environment, the hotel blends contemporary elegance with understated sophistication.
The interiors of the guest rooms and public areas are designed by internationally acclaimed Belgian architect Olivier Dwek, whose vision brings together natural textures, soft tones and modern craftsmanship. With a beautiful wooden staircase, organic materials and warm wood finishes throughout the rooms create a serene connection with the surrounding landscape.
The hotel comprises 150 thoughtfully appointed rooms, including 30 suites and 12 junior suites, many with private terraces and expansive views across the rolling hills and an adjacent golf course, reinforcing the hotel's position as a unique destination immersed in nature.
The hotel's restaurant Stoke Grill House & Brasserie is designed by Will Erens, an authority in contemporary eclectic restaurant design and features a trendy bar area and outside terrace. It is the perfect spot for locals and hotel guests seeking tasty lunches and long dinners.
A destination in harmony with its surroundings
Built with an emphasis on responsible design and long-term integration into the landscape, designed by the internationally renowned landscape architect Bas Smets, the hotel exemplifies Radisson Hotel Group's wider commitment to sustainable hospitality. The use of locally sourced materials, advanced energy-efficient systems, and a focus on open green spaces positions the hotel as a future-forward destination.
The hotel is the first international hotel in Belgium to use geothermal cooling and heating.
It uses the pinnacle of sustainable systems which drastically reduce the building's CO₂ emissions. A large geothermal plant provides heating and cooling to the hotel. This system consists of several hot and cold aquifer wells from which water is pumped into the hotel from the ground and are used for energy storage and recovery, which regulate the building temperature to optimal comfort.
In addition, the hotel uses highly efficient water-to-water heat pumps, which outperform traditional air-based heat pumps in both energy efficiency and environmental impact. As a result, the building achieves excellent scores in energy performance, aligning with high sustainability standards.
A championship golf experience
Renowned golf course architect Bruno Steensels has designed what many rank among the strongest championship courses in Belgium.
Spanning 6 km, the 18-hole course is available to hotel guests, offering a world-class golfing experience just steps from their room.
The National Golf Brussels intends to turn golfing events into an all-in experience. With extensive practice facilities, putting greens, and a 6-hole compact course, it's perfect for golfers of all levels.
