Martin's Red Hotel is in Walloon Brabant and, golfing geek aside, it's a pretty fun place to base yourself if you like your trips with a bit of sporting theatre. The hotel sits on the same site as the Belgian Football Centre, so you're effectively staying at the national team's training HQ. It's widely seen as the Red Devils' home base when the squad is in camp, and if they're around you'll feel it throughout the building, with training pitches in view and a nice sports-set-up vibe from the moment you arrive.
For a golf break, it works because it's straightforward and well geared for groups. You've got modern rooms, on-site dining and a solid leisure set-up, plus you're within easy reach of a good spread of courses across the region. It's also a handy option if you're mixing golf with a bit of Brussels time, or squeezing in a couple of rounds around a work trip. The capital is only a short drive away, making it practical for anyone combining business with a few tee times.
Rooms are contemporary and practical, with smart TVs, USB plugs and air con with individual thermostat control. The hotel's guest gym comes with a sauna and steam room, which is exactly what you want after 36 holes or a long travel day. The Red Sports Bar & Grill overlooks the training facilities and keeps things relaxed, with burgers and Belgian favourites on the menu. Chef Stephan Pivato, a Liege Hotel School graduate with more than 35 years in the business, runs the kitchen and knows what he's doing.
