Set within the National Golf Club estate in Sterrebeek, The National Hotel is a luxury destination that combines contemporary hospitality with a strong connection to its surrounding landscape. Overlooking the golf course and immersed in greenery, the hotel features elegant guestrooms and suites, vibrant dining venues, and versatile event facilities. Expansive glazing fills the interiors with natural light, while the sustainable lighting design enhances the architecture, accentuating material textures and creating a welcoming atmosphere that evolves seamlessly from day to night.
Suites:
Across the hotel’s 150 guestrooms and 30 luxury suites, the lighting design complements the interior palette of soft tones and natural materials. During the day, abundant natural light floods the spaces, enhanced by decorative and architectural fittings that preserve openness and clarity. As daylight fades, layered lighting transforms the rooms into intimate retreats, delivering warmth and comfort while maintaining the stunning views across the golf course.
Dining :
The lighting at Stoke Grillhouse is designed to evolve with the rhythm of the day, supporting the restaurant’s vibrant and social character. Bright, welcoming illumination defines daytime dining, while carefully controlled scenes introduce a more intimate and sophisticated atmosphere in the evening. Feature pendants, concealed lighting, and targeted accents enhance materiality, elevate food presentation, and unify the dining, bar, and terrace spaces.
Meetings & Events:
The hotel’s event facilities, comprising nine versatile venues accommodating up to 400 guests, benefit from flexible lighting solutions designed to support a wide range of functions, from corporate conferences to evening celebrations. Dynamic controls allow each space to adapt effortlessly to changing requirements while maintaining visual comfort and a premium guest experience.
Destination:
The National Hotel enjoys a unique setting surrounded by greenery and open landscapes. Located on the former hippodrome site, the 10.4-hectare development combines luxury residences, leisure facilities, and a vibrant community atmosphere while remaining closely connected to the cultural and business attractions of Brussels. In Bucharest, the hotel offers access to a city where history and modernity coexist, with grand boulevards, historic landmarks, lively cafés, and contemporary cultural venues creating a dynamic urban experience.
Sustainability:
Sustainability is embedded throughout The National Hotel, with the lighting design contributing to both environmental performance and guest comfort. Floor-to-ceiling glazing maximises the use of daylight, reducing the need for artificial lighting while maintaining bright, welcoming interiors.
The scheme further prioritises sustainability through the use of locally manufactured luminaires with minimal material content, incorporating recycled aluminium and ultra-high-efficiency light sources. Together, these measures create a lighting solution that balances luxury hospitality with a responsible and forward-thinking approach.
