Radisson Collection The National Hotel
Brussels
Radisson Collection The National Hotel, Brussels is an excellent choice for golfers who want championship golf on the doorstep without giving up easy access to the Belgian capital. Set in the green surroundings of Sterrebeek, the hotel sits directly alongside The National Golf Brussels, around 11 kilometres from central Brussels and just a short transfer from the airport.
The hotel offers 150 rooms and suites, including 30 suites, all designed by Belgian architect Olivier Dwek. Interiors have a contemporary, understated style, with warm materials and plenty of natural light. Many rooms look across the golf course, lake or landscaped gardens, while selected categories include private terraces. For golfers wanting additional space, Junior Suites measure around 43m², with the larger Suites extending to approximately 73m².
Golf is naturally one of the biggest reasons we recommend staying here. The National Golf Brussels is immediately alongside the hotel and features an inland links-style championship course designed by Belgian golf architect Bruno Steensels. Open countryside, water features and sweeping fairways create a modern golf experience that feels surprisingly removed from the nearby city. Guests can also arrange lessons or spend time on the driving range, making it easy to add some practice alongside your rounds.
Away from the course, hotel guests receive access to the neighbouring David Lloyd Sterrebeek, which considerably expands the leisure offering. Facilities include a modern gym, heated indoor and outdoor swimming pools, hydrotherapy pools, saunas, hammam and an outdoor Spa Garden with whirlpools. The hotel also has its own well-being area with sauna and hammam facilities, giving you plenty of ways to recover after 18 holes.
Dining centres around Stoke Grillhouse, where charcoal-grilled meats, fresh fish and seasonal vegetables are served with a contemporary European influence. Stoke Bar is ideal for post-round drinks, and its terrace overlooking the golf course is somewhere we would definitely make time for when the weather behaves. Breakfast and room service are also available.
For us, one of the strongest reasons to choose The National Hotel is its location. You can enjoy a peaceful golf-resort atmosphere during the day and still head into Brussels for the Grand Place, restaurants, Belgian beer and historic neighbourhoods in the evening.
For golfers wanting modern five-star accommodation, golf immediately outside the hotel and Brussels within easy reach, Radisson Collection The National Hotel is an excellent base.

About The Area
Paal-Beringen is a relaxed golf holiday destination in Belgian Limburg, combining a challenging championship course with lakeside scenery, cycling routes and fascinating industrial heritage. Paal forms part of the wider city of Beringen and provides a quieter base than Belgium’s major cities, while Brussels Airport is approximately 55 kilometres away. A hire car is recommended for exploring the surrounding golf courses and countryside.
The main attraction is Millennium Golf, situated beside the Paalse Plas lake. Its 18-hole, par-72 Championship Course measures approximately 6,300 metres and was designed by Belgian architect Bruno Steensels. Water comes into play on many holes, so golfers must balance attacking shots with careful course management. Oaks, beeches, birches and rhododendrons frame the fairways, creating an attractive parkland setting throughout the round. There is also a nine-hole Compact Course for beginners, practice sessions or an additional shorter game.
Golfers planning a longer Belgian golf break can also travel to Royal Limburg Golf Club at Houthalen-Helchteren, whose heathland-style course has been compared with traditional British championship layouts. Spiegelven Golf Club near Genk provides another varied 18-hole challenge across gently rolling ground.
Away from golf, Beringen’s standout attraction is be-MINE, one of Flanders’ most important former mining sites. Visitors can explore the Mining Museum, climb Adventure Mountain or enjoy walking and cycling routes through the historic colliery area. The site also includes climbing, swimming and indoor snorkelling and diving facilities.
Belgian Limburg is particularly enjoyable by bicycle, with an extensive network connecting woodland, heath, former mining communities and lakes. Hasselt and Genk are both suitable for day trips, adding restaurants, cafés and cultural attractions to the itinerary.
Paal-Beringen is therefore a strong choice for golfers seeking something different from Belgium’s better-known city breaks: peaceful surroundings, strategic golf and plenty to explore between rounds.
