Botanic Sanctuary Antwerp - The Leading Hotels of the World
Antwerp, Belgium
Best overallBotanic Sanctuary Antwerp - The Leading Hotels of the World suits travellers who want a city break and a spa stay in one… It sits on Leopoldstraat in the centre of Antwerp, close to shops and restaurants, and pairs historic character with modern luxury: four restaurants, a bar, an indoor pool, a fitness centre and the Health & Spa Club. Guests come back again and again to the spa, the breakfast and the staff, whom many describe as exceptionally kind, and several call the hotel a haven of calm in the middle of the city. The criticism is mostly about details. Check-in can take a while when only one desk is staffed, some rooms feel small, and in a few double rooms two single beds are pushed together under a topper. Guests also notice wear in parts of the buildings, and parking is costly. Couples who plan to spend plenty of time in the spa will find it a polished, easy base for the city.
Why this position
Leads the ranking: a higher guest score than #2 (9.0 to 8.6).
Sapphire House Antwerp, Autograph Collection
Antwerp, Belgium
DesignSapphire House Antwerp, Autograph Collection suits travellers who want classic five-star comfort in a building with real presence… It stands on Lange Nieuwstraat in central Antwerp, a 6-minute walk from the Cathedral of Our Lady, with the Rubens House and the Groenplaats nearby and Antwerpen-Centraal station within easy walking distance. Guests are struck by how grand the building is and by the elegant interiors, down to the gemstone details in the rooms. Rooms are described as spacious, quiet and spotlessly clean, and many praise the friendly staff, the breakfast and the cosy corners to sit in around the hotel. There is little criticism. One guest found a room facing the main road noisy, so it is worth asking for a quieter side. Wellness is limited to a fitness centre, with no pool, and the grand scale feels less intimate than Antwerp's smaller townhouse hotels. Travellers who want space, style and a central address will be well served.
Why this position
The largest body of guest feedback on this page: 1,938 reviews, averaging 8.6. Rests on more guest reviews than #1 (1,938 to 1,341), at a slightly lower score (8.6 to 9.0).
Hotel De Witte Lelie -Small Luxury Hotels of the World
Antwerp, Belgium
Affordable luxuryHotel De Witte Lelie -Small Luxury Hotels of the World is a small boutique hotel for travellers who want character and personal service rather than a grand lobby… It sits on a quiet street in the centre of Antwerp, a 5-minute walk from the Grote Markt, with suites, a romantic garden and a terrace where breakfast is served in the warmer months. Guests talk above all about the staff, who make them feel at home from the moment they arrive, and about interiors that one guest calls a breath of fresh air after the usual beige hotel look. The breakfast, with its carefully laid tables, is praised too. Criticism is rare. One guest found it pricey for what it is and felt some rooms could do with updating, another noticed a strong smell on arrival and wished for better ventilation, and drivers of large cars should know the entrance is tight. Couples who want a romantic, stylish hideaway close to the old town will be well looked after here.
Why this position
Highest guest score of the 5 hotels we rank here — 9.4 from 397 reviews. Scores higher than #2 (9.4 to 8.6), on a smaller body of reviews (397 to 1,938).
Quartier Le Sud
Antwerp, Belgium
Quartier Le Sud is for travellers who would rather have an apartment of their own than a hotel room… It lies on Graaf van Egmontstraat in Het Zuid, with outdoor cafés close by and the Plantin-Moretus Museum among the sights in the area. Guests describe the apartments as bright, airy and stylish, spacious for a city stay and spotlessly clean, with comfortable beds and a kitchen stocked with everything from towels to cookware. Several are surprised by how quiet it is despite the cafés nearby, and the host is praised for quick, helpful replies. The set-up has its limits. The stairs are steep and narrow, which can be awkward with heavy luggage, and one guest wished for somewhere to store food besides the fridge. There is no restaurant or bar, so meals are up to you. Couples and longer-stay visitors who enjoy cooking and living like locals will feel at home here.
Why this position
A 4-star hotel scoring 9.3 from 264 reviews: the guest verdict outweighs the star class. Sits behind #3 on both the score (9.3 to 9.4) and the sample it rests on (264 to 397 reviews).
Hotel Julien
Antwerp, Belgium
Spa & wellnessHotel Julien suits travellers who want a stylish, relaxed base in the heart of Antwerp… It is set around green patios a 5-minute walk from the Groenplaats, with modern rooms spread across two historic buildings, a roof terrace with views over the city and a spa in 16th-century cellars with a steam bath, sauna and rain shower. Guests praise the Belgian design, the photographs on the walls and the inviting bar and lounge, and many mention large rooms, good linen and a well-kept bathroom. The staff are described as friendly and knowledgeable, and the breakfast is well liked. The criticism is minor and largely personal. A guest on a long trip found storage space limited, another missed better streaming options on the TV, and one found the bed too firm while their partner loved it. Couples and design lovers who plan to explore the centre on foot will find a calm, comfortable hideaway here.
Why this position
Rests on more guest reviews than #4 (507 to 264), at a slightly lower score (9.0 to 9.3).
