Unique in the heart of historical Antwerp !

A cosy 4 star deluxe hotel that pleases the demanding businessman as well as the well-informed tourist. Under a minute’s walk from the famous “Grand Place” where all the action is, very quietly situated between a patio with 16^th century colonnade and a green garden with view on an 18^th century façade, this romantic and charming hotel offers 36 rooms, including 3 Junior suites and 1 Rubens Suite (80M2)

In summer you may enjoy the delicious hot and cold breakfast-buffet on the patio, in the shadow of our own Pagaddertower (the oldest in town)

The hotel Rubens is easily accessible. Take a minute to print the road description as you find it on our website since it will guarantee you a swift and uncomplicated arrival.

Once parked in one of our garages of course, you do not need a car until departure, since nearly all things of interest are within easy walking distance !

The proximity of the “Grand Place” with its multitude of restaurants and bars, from the simple snackbar, to the best gastronomical restaurant, via a trendy bistro or a typical Flemish brasserie, offers the largest variety and guarantees the right place for each budget and taste.

The rooms are spacious, light and individually decorated. They are all air-conditioned (with individual commands), cable tv (CNN and BBC), telephone, mini-bar, hairdryer, internet connection and even WI-FI, and an individual safe. Reading lights by the bed can be adapted to individual needs.

We offer automatic wake-up calls and voicemail. Room service is available within certain hours.

Where else can you choose between a room with a view on the garden with as only sound the song of birds, the Cathedral, Saint Paul’s Church, the garden or the patio with a 16^TH century colonnade and the oldest Tower of Antwerp ?

Very exclusive are the 3 deluxe rooms and 1 Junior Suite with a private terrace on the ground floor. Just imagine yourself sitting in total quiet on your private terrace with an after dinner drink. Excellent for an anniversary, a birthday, a surprise or just a relaxing time-out.
