Are there hotels near Chez Clément for a gastronomic weekend?

For a weekend in the Genval / La Hulpe corner of Walloon Brabant, the hotel offer is both compact and high quality. Two reference addresses dominate the landscape: Martin's Château du Lac, set directly on the shore of Lac de Genval, and Dolce La Hulpe Brussels, embedded in the green setting of the Solvay parkland. Both sit within ten minutes of Brasserie Chez Clément, making either a logical base for a two-night gastronomic weekend anchored on a long brasserie dinner.

Beyond these two flagships, the area offers a handful of bed-and-breakfasts and smaller guesthouses around the lake and in La Hulpe village, particularly suited to British visitors looking for a more residential experience. Brussels Airport at Zaventem, reachable in roughly thirty minutes by car, also widens the practical hotel options for visitors flying in and out the same weekend. The brasserie itself does not operate as a hotel, but its sister relationships with the local hospitality scene are well-established by sheer geographic proximity, without formal partnerships.

The brasserie's value as a gastronomic anchor rests on its heritage and capacity. Founded in 1858 by Henri and Sidonie Clément, run today by Marie and Gilles Verleyen (fifth generation), the kitchen handles two to three hundred covers per service with a brigade of thirty-two. The Thursday disco night evening, established in the France Clément era from the mid-1990s, is one of the signature reasons why guests stay locally rather than commuting back to Brussels.

For families, business retreats or couples on an anniversary weekend, the typical configuration is a Friday-evening dinner at the brasserie, a Saturday morning loop of Lac de Genval, a Saturday-afternoon visit to the Folon Foundation, and a relaxed Sunday lunch before driving back. The brasserie's open-seven-days rhythm makes the loop work in either direction.
