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 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.

“We are thrilled to open Radisson Collection The National Hotel, Brussels and offer our guests something truly exceptional. The hotel represents a new standard of personalized hospitality in an extraordinary setting. Its direct integration with the golf course and access to world-class wellness facilities offer guests a truly enriching stay” says Duco Heijbroek, General Manager of Radisson Collection The National Hotel, Brussels.

“The opening of Radisson Collection The National Hotel, Brussels marks an exciting new chapter for Radisson Hotel Group, in the city where our global headquarters is proudly based. As our second Radisson Collection property in Brussels, it reinforces our commitment to offering exceptional, locally inspired experiences in key destinations. This landmark retreat exemplifies our vision for contemporary, responsible hospitality — where refined design, seamless service, and sustainability come together to create a truly exceptional guest experience”, says Yilmaz Yildirimlar, Chief Operating Officer Managed Hotels Europe at Radisson Hotel Group.
