On a hot summer day, nothing beats plunging into the cooling waters of a beautiful pool. In the tropical backyard of Van der Valk Hotel Nivelles-Sud you can imagine yourself on the Mediterranean. And in the heart of Belgium.
Just a twenty-minute drive from Brussels is Van der Valk Hotel Nivelles-Sud. A great base from which to explore the Belgian capital, as well as the province of Walloon Brabant. After a nice day on the road, you will completely relax in this stylish hotel that Bert Wohrmann opened in 1977. Fifteen years ago, his son Bob took over with his wife Emilie. In 2018, the major renovation of the hotel started, which was anticipated. The main building was demolished, the restaurant relocated and new rooms, suites and a function room were added. An amazing metamorphosis for the hotel. Bob says, "After more than forty years, the hotel was in need of renewal. It became a completely new hotel that we are very happy with. My father had the outdoor pool built about 25 years ago, and since the new building we also have an indoor pool, wellness and fitness. Those extras are very much appreciated by guests, because we see, especially on weekends, that the rooms at the wellness are well booked. A hotel with a heated indoor and outdoor pool is not often seen. On the roofs are more than 2000 square meters of solar panels, among other things to heat the water of the pools.' In the wellness area you will find a sauna, hammam, Jacuzzi and beauty salon. In the spacious fitness area you will find the latest sports equipment and guests can take group classes.
The heated pool is a reason to book a stay in Nivelles-Sud
That heated outdoor pool has been a reason to book a stay at Hotel Nivelles-Sud for decades. The pool is open exclusively to hotel guests and opens every year on May 1. You can swim there until early October, or even longer in the fall, depending on the weather. Not only for guests looking to book a vacation, wedding couples have also been choosing this location for years because of the pool. Bob says, "Regularly there are photo shoots here for newlyweds. The wedding car can be driven right up to the pool, which makes for spectacular photos.We have planted plenty of palm and olive trees so it is then very nicely decorated. In addition
our vineyard around it. Because of this atmosphere, we often hear that our hotel guests feel like they are in the South of France. On the loungers by the pool you can relax. Our waiters there take orders and bring the most delicious drinks and snacks. The pool and the terrace around it is also a wonderful place for a party, on request we then place an outdoor bar.' Many rooms have a balcony or terrace overlooking the outdoor pool. A table tennis table and bocce ball court complete the vacation atmosphere.
After relaxing and enjoying the water fun, have dinner on the restaurant's terrace, or inside if it's just too chilly outside. The restaurant has an à-la-carte section, a brasserie, Live Cooking buffet and lounge bar. Bob: "Our terrace has a great location with plenty of sunshine on nice days. It is also one of the largest terraces in this region. Every Thursday there is a DJ playing and a special cocktail bar. Let's hope for a sunny summer, then it will be full enjoyment outside here! And there is more to come, because we have plenty of plans for expansion. We are realizing a large four-story parking garage and we are thinking about a casino. Then we will have an even more complete Hotel Nivelles-Sud!
Thanks to the vineyard you imagine yourself in the south of France
