About Meerbeek

Meerbeek is a village in the municipality of Kortenberg in Flemish Brabant, between Brussels and Leuven. It is a quiet, mostly residential place with green surroundings, which makes it a calm base compared with the busier city centres nearby. If you are heading to a specific address, share it when you book so the driver can plan the final stretch of the trip.

Places to Stay Near Meerbeek

Meerbeek is small, so many visitors choose accommodation in nearby Leuven, the closest larger town. Well-known options there include:

• Martin's Klooster Hotel, set in a converted former convent
• Leuven Marriott Hotel, a larger international-brand hotel close to the city centre

Leuven is also a university town with a historic centre, so it works well for visitors who want restaurants and sights within walking distance.
