Mövenpick Brussels Airport chooses AQUALEX: luxury with responsibility
When you step into the Mövenpick Hotel at Brussels Airport, you immediately feel it: here, luxury is not just about comfort, but also about responsibility. Hospitality is refined, the service impeccable, yet something extra is present. A respect for people and the environment, felt in every detail. For Mövenpick, sustainability is not a buzzword, but a consistently applied choice.

A shared vision
“We wanted a drinking water solution for our guests that was sustainable, user-friendly, and stylish,” says Bert Degryse. This search brought Mövenpick to AQUALEX, a Belgian manufacturer known for its innovative drinking water systems. Like Mövenpick, AQUALEX combines forward-thinking design with a strong sustainability vision. It felt like a match from the very first conversation.
At Mövenpick, design is a top priority. Even the hotel’s façade tells a story: curtains, usually found only inside, are cast in concrete—a nod to one hundred years of surrealism in Belgium. AQUALEX shares this love of aesthetics. Their taps and water columns are more than functional devices: they become elegant elements that enrich interiors and create experiences.
Water, always within reach
In the hotel kitchen, everything revolves around speed and efficiency. With 162 seats in the restaurant, water must always be available without wasting staff time. The AQUALEX Forte ensures exactly that: unlimited chilled and sparkling water, directly from the unit. Thanks to automatic dosing, not a second is lost, while guests in the restaurant enjoy their drinks served in stylish Nova bottles that perfectly complement the premium atmosphere.
But the experience doesn’t stop in the restaurant. In the hallways, guests find Circulo units, where they can refill their bottles on the go. “We notice that guests really appreciate this,” smiles Degryse. “It’s practical, comfortable, and it also helps us save thousands of plastic bottles.”
Smart elegance
The Circulo is more than a handy device. It is a showcase of what sustainability and innovation can mean together. Made from recycled materials such as flax and plastic waste, it gives waste a second life. The design is sleek and modern, the operation completely contactless thanks to Touchless® technology. For guests, it feels natural, but behind that simplicity lies clever innovation.
Luxury with impact
For Mövenpick, choosing AQUALEX was a logical step. Both share the same values: care for the guest and care for the planet. The result is a partnership that brings design, comfort, and sustainability together in a single glass of water.
“At AQUALEX, we found exactly what we were looking for,” concludes Degryse. “A partner who understands that true luxury goes beyond comfort. It’s also about responsibility, and our guests value that every single day.”
