In line with its global sustainable development programme “Tomorrow needs today”, Martin’s Hotels guarantees the carbon neutrality of all events organised in its 10 hotels for businesses keen to reduce their environmental impact.

Indeed, the hotel group has pinpointed four aspects as obvious targets for its sustainable development actions: clients, staff, fair & humanitarian actions and, finally, the planet. It is doing its bit for the planet by setting itself a line of conduct: calculating and reducing the carbon emissions of all the hotels, restaurants, of the spa and offices.

Clearly, certain emissions are inevitable.

This situation has prompted Martin’s Hotels to support carbon-offsetting schemes for those carbon emissions that cannot be reduced further at the current point in time, such as those of the residential seminars, banquets and other events organised in its hotels (772 rooms and 63 meeting rooms catering for between 10 and 1000 participants).

These carbon emissions are offset thanks to the funding of projects aimed at setting up self-generated clean energies in emerging and developing countries (e.g. waste collection and biogas production in Tanzania).

In short, for all businesses prepared to take part, Martin’s Hotels cancels out the carbon emissions that it is unable to reduce, despite its continuous environmental improvement efforts (Environmental Management System) and the measures it takes to limit the impact of its guests’ activities on the climate (Eco Voucher).

This carbon offsetting is carried out by CO2logic, a supervised Belgian agency duly recognised for its expertise and the quality of the projects in which the funds are invested.

This new approach allows companies to reduce their environmental footprint, to make a strong gesture and to trigger a debate among its staff.

The “Zero Emission” certificate gives the action an official seal of approval.

18 Miscellaneous The City: The historic university city of Leuven has a fantastic trump-card: eternal youth. The capital city of Flemish Brabant is and will remain forever young. The oldest university city in the country has more than 30,000 students: the city is always bustling with activity. Guaranteed. You arrive in an original ambience in and around fabulous historical and architectural surroundings. If you set off from the Sint-Pieterskerk, in the heart of the city, you can discover all its riches on foot. On the opposite side of the Grote Markt you can admire the City Hall, undoubtedly the most costly and most artistically designed gothic building in Belgium. Now take a walk along the Naamsestraat. The gables of the houses along this street recount the illustrious history of the city as you walk down to the Groot Begijnhof, a little town within the city, nestling in a park of six hectares. After a walk along the banks of the Dijle it’s time to immerse yourself once more in the joyful atmosphere of cafés and terraces in the city centre. Ready for an unforgettable evening? In Leuven you can also enjoy the chimes of the clocks. Every Saturday afternoon there is a bell-chime concert from the Sint-Pieterskerk. The 63 clocks of the University Library have more for students: they chime on Tuesdays and Fridays, but not during school holidays, except in August: that’s when important concerts are organised. What’s more, August is the music month of the year: Marktrock, the great open-air festival, draws fans of the genre to the podiums where the greatest national and international groups of the day make their appearance. During ‘Beleuvenissen’ things are usually a bit quieter: every Friday in July come the fans of jazz, classical music or exotic music from other parts of the world. The history of the hotel: The Kloosterhotel is also known as the “Huis Morillon” after its former owner, “Guy Morillon”, secretary of Charles V. The “Huis Morillon” is a typical patrician residence of the 16th century, situated in a narrow street with old gables of wealthy burgers’ houses. During the 18th century it became the property of the Augustinian nuns and was a stopping-place for travellers and pilgrims. In the 1870s, it existed under the name “Sœurs Augustines Hospitalières de Louvain,” a private clinic. During the war years, the house suffered badly from the various bombardments, the outer walls remained standing but there was a great deal of damage and collapse within. In 1946 the nuns requested permission to demolish the damaged house tower. Canon “Lemaire” insisted that the little tower be preserved. After submission to the Monuments and Landscapes Commission, the tower, gables of the two side wings and the gateway of the “Herenhuis van Guy Morillon” were classified as listed buildings. In 1962 the clinic became part of the Sint-Pietersziekenhuis [Saint Peter’s Hospital] and the nuns decided to rearrange the Huis Morillon as a convent. During the years 1967-69 the buildings were thoroughly restored and renovated. The original House Morillon with its tower was reinstated. Operating theatres disappeared and a chapel was built on. The nuns remained in their new convent until the end of 1999, when they earned an income from renting out rooms to students. When the building was declared unsuitable for use as student lodgings, the nuns lost an important source of income, which meant they were barely able to maintain the building. In 1999, the Augustinian nuns sold the house to a private individual, who in turn sold it to the Martin family. The building was respectfully renovated and restored. So now, when you walk into Reception, you are still walking on the original wooden floor and you can admire the centuries-old wooden arches in some of the rooms
