A tranquil retreat in the cultural old quarter of Antwerp
Hotel De Witte Lelie has transformed a trio of 16th-century gabled white buildings into a distinctively designed contemporary hideaway that stands out from the boutique hotel crowd. With just a handful of characterful rooms and suites, a beautiful floral courtyard, destination restaurant and the tucked-away Bronze Bar that invites guests to while away evenings beside flickering fires, this central Antwerp hideaway is a real (re)treat.
The traditional fabric of the building, including marble fireplaces, high ceilings and exposed beams, stands in stark contrast to bright fabrics, boldly patterned wallpapers, and statement modern furniture. This careful balance of old and new carries across the bedrooms, each unique with striking Bisazza Bagno bathrooms, individual décor and inspiring works of art. It’s a theme that continues to Restaurant Lilium, where walls are covered in delicate botanical murals and white tablecloths are canvases for culinary creativity.
Enjoy lunch here before heading into the city to sample more of its delights. Discover the central square, Grote Markt with its impressive array of Guild houses and the 16th-century Stadhuis. The Cathedral of Our Lady and Rubens House are both well worth visiting.
Enjoy your stay!
