Compliance Summary
General Overview
Courtyard by Marriott Brussels is a modern business hotel designed to serve both corporate and leisure guests.
Meetings and events represent a significant part of its business offering, with a comprehensive range of facilities to support training sessions, seminars, and conferences. The property combines contemporary accommodation and practical meeting space within a single building, providing a streamlined environment suitable for professional gatherings.
Location
Courtyard by Marriott Brussels is located in a quiet residential area of Brussels, overlooking a nearby park and within a short distance of a business park. It is well connected to the city via tram, train, and bus routes, offering sustainable transport options for attendees. The hotel operates a weekday airport shuttle service, complimentary from the airport to the property and €10 for the return journey. On-site parking includes 82 managed spaces and designated coach access directly in front of the entrance for group arrivals and departures.
Design
The hotel’s architecture is contemporary, featuring concrete and brick construction that conveys a clean and professional exterior appearance. Internally, the design continues this modern theme, with open, well-lit public spaces and meeting areas arranged for ease of flow and discretion. The hotel’s unified layout—with all meeting and accommodation facilities within one building—supports compliance needs by allowing controlled access and privacy.
Meeting Spaces
Courtyard by Marriott Brussels offers 11 meeting rooms distributed across two floors. The principal meeting level comprises nine rooms and a dedicated foyer area suitable for networking and receptions. The Athens Ballroom, the largest room, holds 250 delegates in theatre style and is accompanied on the same level by the Antwerp Room (100 theatre), Sydney, Barcelona, Atlanta, and Seoul Rooms (each 50 theatre), and Amsterdam and Stockholm Rooms (10 boardroom). The spaces are flexible and can be configured for training, seminars, or corporate events. The entire first floor can be made exclusive for confidential meetings, providing a private environment for compliant healthcare or corporate functions.
Bedrooms
The hotel provides 191 bedrooms located between the first and seventh floors. Room categories are divided into Deluxe (Standard), Superior (Executive), and Suites. All rooms include essential business amenities such as complimentary Wi-Fi, work desks, safes, and coffee/tea-making facilities. Family room configurations consist of one Deluxe Double and one Deluxe Twin. The property offers the option to remove mini-fridges, bathrobes, and Nespresso machines if required for compliance reasons.
Restaurant and Public Spaces

The restaurant accommodates 100 guests and includes a private area—Backyard—with capacity for 80 seated or 100 standing, available for full privatisation for dinner meetings or small group functions. For larger or presentation-based events, the meeting rooms are recommended for privacy compliance. The Foyer on the first floor can host standing receptions for up to 100 guests, while the Sport’s Corner section of the bar provides a casual yet contained space suitable for informal networking or private hire. No entertainment or live music is offered, ensuring the venue maintains a professional and compliant atmosphere.
