Terhills Hotel: from a mining site to a meeting hotspot
Looking for a unique place to stay, dine and meet? Terhills Hotel in Maasmechelen is truly one of a kind. This four-star hotel, with 59 luxurious rooms, is housed in the main mining building of the former Eisden mining site, where a rich history blends seamlessly with modern luxury.
Set within Terhills, between the Hoge Kempen National Park, Maasmechelen Village, Terhills Cablepark and Elaisa Wellness, Terhills Hotel offers access to a variety of exceptional experiences. Unspoilt nature, outstanding wellness, adventurous water activities and high- end shopping, you can find it all here.
A touch of history
Upon arrival at Terhills Hotel, you cannot miss the link with its industrial past. The impressive baroque architecture and symmetrical garden reflect the wealth of its coal mining heritage. The garden delights with neatly sculpted hedges and the gentle splash of a fountain. Towering headframes beside Terhills Hotel recall the work once carried out underground. These historic features blend beautifully with the modern, luxurious design of the hotel rooms. The restaurant and bar also combine contemporary style with a subtle nod to the past.
Meetings in style
The modern Terhills Conference centre, located alongside the hotel, offers inspiring views of the headframes and the hotel’s French garden. This distinctive setting is ideal for meetings, incentives, conferences, receptions, brainstorming sessions and corporate events. Everything is possible. All rooms feature large windows with plenty of natural light and can accommodate groups of 10 to 400 people.
Feel like you are in the south of France with a fun team building activity in our French garden. This beautiful outdoor space is perfect for enjoying time together with your team. How about fencing, a yoga session, a boot camp or adventurous Highland games? Looking for something a bit more daring? Start your morning or end your day with a walk across hot coals. In the past, coal was mined beneath Terhills, now you can walk above ground across glowing embers. Not for the faint- hearted.
Hosting large scale outdoor events
Looking for an open-air venue where you can organise a high-quality, large-scale event? The brand new Terhills Events zone, located right next to Terhills Hotel, is the perfect place. Here, the headframe stands proudly in all its glory, an icon of Maasmechelen’s industrial past. Where coal was once extracted from the ground, you will now find a beautifully landscaped green area, perfectly suited to hosting major outdoor events. The meeting rooms at Terhills Conference are ideal for use as VIP, press, production or artist spaces, and they also offer direct access to the event zone.
A wide range of teambuilding opportunities
Colleagues can explore the National Park together with a ranger during a themed walking tour, a Kompeltour, or enjoy an exclusive behind the scenes look at the Ecotron. More active teams can opt for mountain biking or cycling, including the unique experience of cycling between the mining slag heaps. On the water, there are plenty of adventurous options at Terhills Cablepark, from wakeboarding to paddle boarding and the aquapark. The French garden at Terhills Hotel provides the perfect setting for original activities such as fencing, firewalking and Highland games.
