Is Chez Clément close to Martin's Château du Lac?

Martin's Château du Lac is one of the most recognisable hotels in Walloon Brabant. Sitting directly on the shore of Lac de Genval, it enjoys a unique landscape position, lake views, direct access to the 3.5 km lakeside loop, and a stately silhouette that has become a regional postcard. For corporate retreats, weddings and premium-segment weekend stays, it is a reference address. From Brasserie Chez Clément at Rue de la Bruyère 230, count five to seven minutes by car to reach the hotel.

The two addresses belong to the same territorial ecosystem. Chez Clément is in Genval, ten metres from the La Hulpe communal border. The Martin's is on the lake shore, in the same Rixensart commune. For a guest staying at the hotel and looking for a Belgian brasserie of tradition, Chez Clément offers precisely that counterpoint: a family institution opened in 1858, five generations of continuity, fully house-made cooking by chef Vincent Frédéric De Laloy (in the kitchen since 1996), and a brigade of thirty-two.

The most common pattern is straightforward: stay at the Martin's, walk around the lake, dine at Chez Clément, return on foot (15 to 20 minutes) or by taxi (3 to 5 minutes). The brasserie's bar runs continuously from noon to 1 AM, comfortably covering the after-dinner stretch typical of hotel-evening rhythms. Lunch service (12:00 to 14:30) and dinner service (19:00 to 22:30) operate seven days a week. Many guests at Chez Clément's Thursday disco night evenings choose the Martin's so they can walk home afterwards, particularly useful given that the Thursday night can run until 4-5 AM, well beyond the usual 1 AM bar hours.

Important note: Chez Clément and Martin's Château du Lac are two independent establishments without structural partnership. The brasserie does not run a hotel desk, but naturally welcomes hotel guests, as it has done for five generations of visitors to the area.
