Romanticism and Nutrition at the Chateau du Lac in Walloon Brabant

Situated a few minutes from Brussels on the shores of a romantic lake, the Lorraine-style chateau-hotel of Genval is a 5-star hotel, built in 1906 which seems conjured up out of a fairy story. It has been a haunt of the Emperor of Japan, Albert II of Monaco, Al Gore and the French football team, all dreaming of a weekend in the heart of a region of lush natural beauty, after the excess of the New Year’s festivities.

A Romantic Rendez-Vous at the Chateau du Lac

Visitors come to enjoy the charms of the Belgian countryside, staying in one of the 120 romantic or contemporary rooms and suites, but also the delicate specialities of Olivier Grégoire, a chef trained in the finest restaurants of Belgium. Without forgetting the renowned golf course for green-lovers to indulge their favourite pastime during their stay.
