An open mind helps us grow. At TheMerode, we believe in:
Restlessly eager to learn and looking for opportunities to grow and ideas that shape tomorrow, balancing boldness and wisdom to inspire the community.
Endless energy, creativity and a can-do attitude that make our team and community feel empowered to achieve more and express their authentic selves.
Being rational and functional is not enough. Joy has the power to open minds and is therefore the most convincing emotion. Being at ease can spark new visions and solve real-world challenges.
Igniting conversations, new perspectives and ideas, we are a collective story of individuals as we are bringing together diverse profiles and personalities both in our community and in our programme.
A particular club
in a hotel particulier
The origins of the Hôtel The Merode date back to the first half of the 16th century. It wasn't until 1791 that the building took the name of Hôtel The Merode.
In 1863, Charles de Merode, then President of the Senate, ceded to the Belgian State most of his "lovely secular gardens" surrounding the building the Hôtel The Merode now occupies, which was his family home. This allowed the important construction of the Palais de Justice on Place Poelaert, known at the time as Place de Merode.
In 2010, the Cercle de Lorraine restored the private historical mansion of 6,000m². In 2020, TheMerode team took over the club and transformed it into a private members' club that opened its doors in November 2021.
