Close to 'De Hoge Kempen' nature reserve you will find the charming 4 star Hotel Stiemerheide. Here you can relax and unwind while you enjoy the beautiful scenery, savour culinary delights and play sports in the form of golf, cycling, swimming or walking. There are plenty of options to choose from to make your weekend getaway unforgettable.
The hotel has two restaurants which are both recommended by Michelin. Restaurant Moonstone has a Bib Gourmand recognition and Restaurant De Kristalijn has 1 Michelin star.
Restaurant Moonstone
At restaurant Moonstone you can indulge in the Belgian and French cuisine. The kitchen brigade uses seasonal products for its daily two-, three, or four-course menus. Michelin gave the restaurant a Bib Gourmand recognition and Gault&Millau rewarded it with a 13,5 out of 20 rating. We enjoyed a delicious two-course lunch with ceviche of sea bass with apple, cucumber, lime and pomegranate and dorade royale with black tiger shrimp, gnocchi, zucchini and crustacean gravy. There is an extensive wine list so that a pairing wine can be served with every single dish.
Restaurant De Kristalijn
Chef Koen Somers gained a Michelin star in 2012 and has been cooking on this excellent level for over a decade at De Kristalijn. During lunch you can choose between a three- or four-course menu, and during the evening between a four-, five-, or six-course menu. A pairing wine arrangement can be ordered with all menus. The modern restaurant has an open kitchen and a beautiful view of the golf course.
Hotel Rooms at Hotel Stiemerheide
The stylish rooms in muted and natural colours (with very comfy beds and pleasantly fresh bed linnen) will ensure a relaxing night's sleep. Here you wake up to the sounds of birds and a pretty view over the lush green golf course.
Recreation at Hotel Stiemerheide
The nearby 'Hoge Kempen' National Park has many hiking and cycling routes to choose from. Of course you can bring your own bike, but it is also possible to rent electric bicycles and mountain bikes at the hotel.
A few hours of shopping is also an option during your stay at Stiemerhiede, because Maasmechelen Village is just a 15 minute drive away. Here you can shop at over 100 boutiques from the world's biggest fashion and lifestyle brands.
Those who play golf can enjoy the beautiful 18 hole Golf course at Golfclub Spiegelven, which is located behind the hotel. It is a well maintained and varied golf course, laid out in a wooded and slightly hilled environment.
Guests who like to relax in pleasant temperatures will probably love the indoor swimming pool (15 x 6 m), solarium, sauna and sanarium.
In the evening it is nice to end the day at the cosy bar or in the snug snooker room.
How to get to Hotel Stiemerheide
The hotel has a large free parking lot (with electric charging stations) and is easy to reach by car, as it is located close to the A2 and the E314:
