Hotel was great. The spa facilities are excellent. We did not have breakfast or dinner at the hotel as their are so many restaurants and cafés nearby.

Beautiful Hotel
The hotel’s architecture is stunning and adds so much character to the experience. The location is unbeatable—close to everything yet peaceful enough to unwind. The highlight, however, was the fabulous spa facilities available to all guests. Relaxing, luxurious, and immaculately maintained—it was a true retreat. I definitely recommend for anyone looking for a mix of style & relaxation. The staff were great, especially the young lady that checked us in & tried to find packing tape for me!!!

The property is fantastic. It is rich in history, it is really beautiful, and well maintained. The staff is great. There are so many options for food and bar, and although several were closed during the winter holiday, it was still great with what they had. The location is very central and convenient to walk to old town, and new areas as well. Honestly, I would come back anytime.

Obviously they did not have enough people at the hotel. No one pick up the phone and we had to wait more than one hour to receive our luggage. Restaurants and the bar was fully occupied . The location was good and comfortable.

Most luxurious hotel in Antwerp, ideally located.
After a late check-in into a small room meant for a single traveler, my husband and I were upgraded to a magnificent suite without extra charge the next day. The staff is very professional and does anything within their means to make your stay comfortable. Overall a wonderful experience.

hotel was fantastic, only minus was that the fitness was not open yet and the park in front of the hotel was closed, next to that lovely really luxury hotel (a little too luxurious even for me) but this comes with a 5* hotel, so that it is. nice room, lots of personal touches and staff will do anything to make your stay pleasant and comfortable. walking distance to the Meir for great shopping and just around the corner of Louis Vuitton, probably nice for the people who regularly stay at these 5* hotels :) would recommand!
