Short history: Founded in 1982, Martin's Hotels has grown from its roots in the beverage industry to become a prominent hotel group in Belgium.

The group continues to expand with recent acquisitions like Martin's Rentmeesterij in Bilzen and Martin's Dream in Mons.

Organization & culture: Employing approximately 239 to 325 staff members, Martin's Hotels maintains a strong family spirit emphasizing loyalty, attentiveness, authenticity, and warm guest relations.

Recent developments: In 2016, Martin's Red, a sports and event venue in Tubize, opened to the public, enhancing the group's offerings. The group also launched Martin's Agora in Louvain-la-Neuve, featuring a popular restaurant and fitness facilities. Recent expansions include new properties in Bilzen and Mons, with a focus on wellbeing and gourmet dining.
