Seminar Meeting, Leuven, Belgium  

This serene property, situated in the heart of the old town, was once occupied by Guy Morillon, secretary to Charles V. Today it is a real haven of calm; extraordinarily beautiful, it offers a top-class hotel service. Its 40 rooms and suites (all different) are jewels of comfort and interior design.

A listed building dating from the 16th century, at the Klooster no two rooms are alike. Each of the 40 rooms has its own charm and cachet: for example, it has two tower rooms in the roof, a suite that follows the paved alleyway that borders the hotel, and on the ground floor spacious rooms with a garden view. All the rooms are vast and luminous, and the stained-glass windows are equipped with shutters that offer discretion in summer and warm in winter. An individually-controlled air conditioning system in each room makes it possible to maintain the temperature at an optimum level throughout the year. The classic dark wood furniture gives each room a timeless atmosphere, in perfect symbiosis with the warm earth colours of the decoration and the bedspreads. With their stone floors, white tiled walls and blue stone consoles around the sinks and baths the bathrooms, twenty of which come with a Jacuzzi, have an almost monastic purity. Generally speaking, the rooms exude a harmony and balance in keeping with the century-old history of this magnificent building. The Lounge bar, a pleasant meeting place, is an intimate and warm place to take a cup of tea or enjoy aperitifs or a digestif in front of the fire. On summer evenings, relax among friends on the terrace as you admire the starlit skies of Louvain. To make sure that your stay is as pleasant as possible, everything has been worked out in the finest detail. And for web surfers,all the rooms have a fast modem and wireless Internet connection. Meetings can be organised for groups of 5 to 25 people.
