A good match doesn't start at kick-off.
It starts days, hours and sometimes even weeks beforehand. With rest. Focus. Good nutrition. Proper preparation. The right facilities. And above all: an environment where the team can fully concentrate on what matters.
Welcome to Hotel Acropolis in Middelkerke and Grouphotel Athena.
Located in the heart of Sportpark Krokodiel, close to the Belgian coast, Hotel Acropolis is an experienced base for football clubs looking to prepare for a new season, organise a training camp or calmly prepare for an important match.
From ambitious amateur clubs to professional top-level teams: we know what a football team needs.
A football training camp is about much more than a bed and breakfast.
That is why we adapt your stay to your team's rhythm. Training sessions, meals, meetings, rest periods and logistics: everything is coordinated around the club's schedule.
Whether you are staying for several days of intensive preparation or spending a night away before an important match, Hotel Acropolis provides an environment where players and staff can stay fully focused.
Sleep. Eat. Train. Recover. Review. Repeat.
Hotel Acropolis has experience welcoming a wide range of sports teams and football clubs.
Teams we have previously welcomed include: Cercle Brugge, A.S. Monaco, Bodø/Glimt, Aston Villa U19
as well as various other national and international sports teams.
That experience makes a difference.
A professional team has different expectations from an amateur club. An U19 team has different needs from a first team. But they all have one thing in common:
they want an environment where they can fully focus on football.
Hotel Acropolis is an Official Hotel Partner of Cercle Brugge and serves as a regular base for the club.
For us, this partnership is about much more than a logo on a board.
We welcome players, coaches, medical staff and technical staff, making sure that everything is in place when performance is the priority.
Rest, discretion, flexibility and a professional approach are essential.
What works for a professional club can also make the difference for your team.
The location of Hotel Acropolis is perhaps one of our greatest strengths.
The hotel is located right in the heart of Sportpark Krokodiel, with numerous sports and leisure opportunities close by.
After training, there is no need to get back on the bus for another logistical marathon. Players can train, relax, eat and recover in an environment that combines sport and tranquillity.
In and around the sports park you will find, among other things:
Sports hall, Swimming pool, Fitness, Tennis, Padel, Wellness, Karting, Climbing and adventure activities, Outdoor sports facilities, Spacious parking.
And after the effort?
