Hotels in Grimbergen

Just north of Brussels, Grimbergen offers a peaceful escape with a rich monastic heritage at its heart. The main draw is the magnificent Grimbergen Abbey, a Premonstratensian monastery where monks still brew their famous blonde and dubbel beers. Visitors can tour the abbey church and its museum before sampling the local brews at the adjacent tavern. For a change of pace, the nearby Prinsenbos park provides quiet woodland walks and the chance to visit the charming Castle of Borcht.

This town is ideal for couples or solo travelers looking for a quiet, culturally interesting base with easy access to the capital. Staying near the Grote Markt puts you within easy walking distance of the abbey and the best local cafes. Grimbergen has its own train station on the line to Brussels-North, making a day trip into the city for sightseeing or business incredibly straightforward.

Accommodation here is dominated by a selection of comfortable, mid-range hotels and a few guesthouses, offering good value. For instance, you can find the modern Hotel Van der Valk Brussels Airport Grimbergen on HOTEVI, which caters well to both leisure guests and those needing proximity to the airport. It’s the kind of place where you can enjoy a local beer in a relaxed setting after a day of exploration.
