advertorial The Word & Marriott Hotels — Why we enjoy Meetings so much… Three months since The Word’s soft launch and we can safely say we have been to our fair share of hotels, restaurants and bars. You see, constant investor, advertiser and contributor meetings mean we often need to select venues with dual, if not sometimes triple, purposes: dining, meeting and sleeping. And this is why Marriott Hotels have earned our seal of approval… With three properties in Brussels, this 5-star suite of hotels knows how to take care of its own. Indeed, its immaculately-styled hotel rooms, perfectly-serviced business lounges and impeccable all-round service appeals to the most demanding of customers: discerning business travellers, moneyed tourists and local big-hitters. Marriott’s fl agship hotel in particular, located at the tip of the city’s Rue A. Dansaert, has our vote. Nestled in the heart of the city, The Word’s team has been known to schedule a ‘meeting’ or two at what is our favourite city ‘statement’ hotel. We say ‘meeting’ because the bar has some outrageously tasty cocktails which somehow give us the impression meetings there go better than expected – or do they? And although we are not fans of hotel restaurants as they often turn out to be nothing more than diners with old furniture, Brussels Marriott’s Midtown Grill is an entirely different story. Its scrumptious American-style 92 — THE THIRD WORD food and lounge-like atmosphere make it the place to go for that much-need early evening cocktail and the city’s best grilled meat; a must-try is its 700gr Rib eye steak (700gr!). For those needing something closer to the city’s European or Business hubs, Marriott’s two other addresses, one in the heart of Brussels’ European district and the other 5 minutes from its business parks and international airport, hit all the right spots. Its Renaissance hotel, just off vibrant Place du Luxembourg and right opposite the E.U’s Parliament, is a regular for E.U power lunches and high-staked negotiations. The hotel restaurant, whips up an exciting blend of inventive French and Belgian culinary delights, has even earned quite a reputation for itself, with locals now using it as their regular ‘eating-out’ and meeting point. And for those last-minute meetings with our editor or photographer on our way to the airport, nothing beats the practicality and subtle settings of Marriott’s Courtyard hotel. Add to that their delicious range of Martini cocktails, complete with hints of mint and banana, and we somehow sometimes manage to miss that one last fl ight… for good reason we say.
