Hôtel BELVUE

General information

The Hotel will be the first of its kind in Brussels, not only is it a newly built total passive building, but it will also focus on training people. Our establishment will be host to trainees all year round who are following a course to enter the hotel industry. We have commited to training 115 persons per year, we will work with our local district training center. They will provide the theory and we will handle the practical side. Looking over the trainees, motivating them, giving them hands on advice and most of all pass on the hotel industry passion! The main goal on our side is that when the training is over, we help them to find jobs using our network and references. We are taking this part of our mission very seriously and believe it is the way forward in an ever more competitive job market.

Things are changing around us and caring for the environment and investing in people and local projects is crucial, we want to innovate and prove it can be done. By taking on this project, we have decided to actively participate in ou local economy. The hotel will generate revenue and a business and tourist flow for the district.

It will set an example for ecological constructions, especially for hotels who are big energy consumers ! Passive building is a standard that is truly energy efficient, comfortable and ecological at the same time. They use energy sources inside the building such as body heat from the residents or solar heat entering the building. Special windows and a building shell consisting of highly insulated exterior walls, roof and floor salb keep the desired warmth in the building or undesirable heat out! A ventilation system consistently supplies fresh air making for superior air quality. Solar panels to provide as much self energy as possible are placed on the roof, together with a rain water recovery tank. We will focus on passing on that green message to our guests, visitors and own employees. With the training part we will hopefully be a launching pad for motivated people who find it difficult these days to find a job.We are proud to be part of this project and will do our best to bring it to live and make it work !
