Antwerp is a historic city that breathes history. Naturally, then, you'll want to stay right in the authentic atmosphere during a charming city break. Antwerp's streets are overflowing with magnificent historic buildings. Did you know that some of those properties also have some great hotels hidden in them? Book your room at one of these hotels and experience the splendour of yesteryear.
Hotel 't Sandt
Close to the Pedestrian Tunnel, in the very heart of the city, step into a 16th-century historic gem that is Hotel 't Sandt. Each room is impeccably finished with great respect for the property's historic character. Don't miss the daily breakfast buffet with many local and artisanal products. In good weather, the understated, Italian courtyard garden is doubly enjoyable.
Hotel Rubens
Historic buildings, of course, belong in the historic centre. You'll find Hotel Rubens in a quiet street near the Grote Markt. The building welcomes you with a stately façade straight out of the history books. You'll sleep near several important landmarks like the Town Hall. Some rooms have a beautiful view of Antwerp's most famous gem: the Cathedral of Our Lady. Would you prefer it a little quieter? Choose a room overlooking the beautiful garden. The stylish interior feels very luxurious. In the bathroom, for example, you'll find fine marble in the showers and bathtubs. Feel like true royalty here!
Hotel FranQ
Another gem in the heart of historic Antwerp is Hotel FranQ. What used to be a bank is now a beautiful neo-classical hotel. The name FranQ is therefore inspired by the many francs that used to be in the vaults here. The boutique hotel brilliantly combines the historic character of the building with fresh, contemporary urban chic. You'll enter a large lobby with magnificent columns. The rooms themselves are very comfortable and have a timeless, elegant feel. Everything you need in luxurious simplicity. An ideal destination for a city trip, business trip or any occasion. If you're staying here, be sure to make a culinary stop at Restaurant La Volta for delicious Italian dishes.
August
Still looking for a cosy retreat during your city break to Antwerp? Book your stay at the charming August. Formerly an Augustinian monastery (hence the name), the building has been transformed into a hotel with some modern touches. The history of the property continues to be handled very respectfully. Everything is a tribute to the Augustinian life of the past, with the right contemporary touches. Wooden ceilings, nostalgic bathtubs and various details give everything a cosy vintage feel. A perfect oasis of calm in a bustling city. You'll probably know August as the restaurant of star chef Nick Bril too. Enjoy some delectable dishes in a phenomenal setting.
Hotel O Kathedral
Is there any place more historic than right across from the majestic Cathedral of Our Lady? This is the location of the beautiful boutique hotel: Hotel O Kathedral. You'll enjoy a unique view of the cathedral from your room's window. What a way to wake up! When the weather is nice, you can even have breakfast downstairs on the terrace, 50 metres from the base of the beautiful tower. The rooms themselves are very comfortable and contemporary. The beautiful murals by your bed make you feel like you're sleeping in a baroque painting, created by master Rubens himself, giving you that cathedral feeling! A great extra: at the hotel, you'll find an in-house chocolate shop and coffee house – enjoy!
