Where to Stay in Antwerp: The Best Hotels and Neighborhoods

Read article : Where to Stay in Antwerp: The Best Hotels and Neighborhoods

To help you out with the decision where to stay in Antwerp, we’ve put together a list of neigbourhoods and the best hotels in the city.

Antwerp is often left out when planning a trip to Belgium. Touristy cities like Brussels or Bruges easily obscure trendy towns of Antwerp or recently re-discovered Ghent.

However, from what we’ve experienced in Antwerp, it’s a vibrant, extraordinarily creative city full of history, so you’re doing yourself a favor by staying here longer, and exploring it for more than a day away from Brussels.

Like it? Share it!

Where to stay in Antwerp?

Where to stay in the Antwerp Historical Center

This is one of the best neighborhoods to stay in Antwerp if your goal is to catch up with sightseeing. The old town is full of museums, lively squares, and a number of cafes, restaurants, and beautifully renovated bed & breakfasts in historical houses.

The area is very walkable, and you can easily access the riverbank. It’s also safe and quiet at night.

Our top pick > De Koning van Spanje

Where to Stay in AntwerpWe stayed in this family-run boutique hotel for three nights, only a minute walk from the main square Grote Markt.

The luxurious interior with elegant decoration made us feel comfortable, as well as the immense space in the bedroom and bathroom. Hot tub, solid wooden writing table and sofa were also part of the room. Our room faced a small courtyard and a garden, so it was absolutely quiet during the whole day.

The breakfast is served in the dining room furnished with antique plates and furniture. If you’re looking for some insider tips on the city, ask the owners. They are extremely helpful, and knowledgeable, since Carl has worked at one of Antwerp’s museums. Check the latest price.

Where to stay in Het Zuid (the Southern District)

It’s trendy, modern, and very suitable for expats and young people fancying nightlife and art. The southern district aka Het Zuid is a renovated neighborhood with plenty of bars, local restaurants, galleries, and museums.

Luxury > The Glorious Inn

In case you’re wishing for some extraordinary place to stay in Antwerp, check it out here. Thematically decorated rooms, classy furniture, and a very quiet location.

We stayed here only a night, but enjoyed the funky atmosphere of the room with a Sleeping Beauty theme. We won’t spoil the surprise, but the room was full of secret hints related to the fairy tale. You better come and check for yourself.

It featured a large and very comfy bed, a tea table with plenty of herbal choices. The highlight of the room was a bathroom with an enormous bathtub, candles, and high-quality toiletries.

  • Check out the gigs at the TRIX Muziekcentrum

Where to stay in Deurne

Located in the east of Antwerp, famous mostly for its huge green area: the Rieverenhof Park. It’s the area of townhouses, and it’s not popular among tourists as it lacks Antwerp’s cultural vibes. However, it’s a good option if you feel like staying out of the city center.

There’s great cycling infrastructure. For the best Antwerp attractions you’ll need to take a tram or a bike to the city center. Or… go local and visit some of the Deurne’s cultural events.

Residential, trendy, silent and … the pricey area of Antwerp with convenient public transport. It’s popular for its art nouveau architecture. Over 170 houses in the neighborhood have the status of protected monuments, and most of them were built in 1900’s.

Zurenborg is a bit off the beaten path, as it lacks the typical tourist attractions, but is easily accessed by a short tram ride from the centre. Very worth a visit even if you don’t book a hotel here.

Apart from exploring the special architecture, you can stop by for a coffee, a lunch, or have a pint in one of plenty of Zurenborg’s cafes, restaurants, and bars.

Our top pick > Abondance Logies

Where to stay in AntwerpWonderfully minimalistic rooms with white & red décor. Super clean. Breakfast for an extra fee available, and you can prepare your meals also in the common kitchen. Close to the restaurants.

Bearrell of Fun - An Escape to Blue Ridge Cabin

Read article : Bearrell of Fun - An Escape to Blue Ridge Cabin

Do you dream of escaping to somewhere private, relaxed, warm and welcoming, with the most incredible views you’ve ever seen? The North Georgia mountain cabin rental playfully named Bearrell of Fun is that kind of place. Located in the Aska Adventure Area in an exclusive gated community, this tri-level, four-bedroom lodge has year-round gorgeous views of Lake Blue Ridge and mountains in three states. 

Drive 2.3 miles through beautiful, scenic winding road through the forest and you arrive at this modern rustic showplace, with its wraparound decks that offer stunning views from every angle. Soaring ceilings and enormous windows let in lots of light and bring the outside in, and the all-wood, rustically decorated interior is warm and cozy. 

The family room, with its leather sofa, wood burning, freestanding fireplace and breathtaking 360º view, is adjacent to the kitchen that features wood cabinets, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, toaster oven, and coffee maker. When it’s time to prepare a meal after a fun day of mountain activities there’s plenty of seating at the dining table for eight plus 4 more at the breakfast bar.

For entertainment, you’ll find billiards, board games and puzzles in the game room, flat screen TVs there, in the family room and all bedrooms, Xbox and PS3 game system, and wireless Internet throughout the cabin. But in this stunning setting, you’ll want to stay outside as much as possible, kicking back in a rocking chair or the glider, soaking in the hot tub, firing up the gas grill for an al fresco dinner, or settling into an Adirondack chair by the warmth of the fire pit. 

When it’s time to turn in for the night, you’ll choose between four airy, ceiling-fan cooled bedrooms, three of which have king beds, luxury bedding, private baths with shower or tub/shower combo, and large closets. The upstairs master bedroom has a vaulted ceiling and loft. The fourth bedroom is outfitted with a twin bunk beds and a single, ideal for kids. 

There’s also a laundry on the main level, and a roomy gravel driveway out front. But as with any vacation experience, it’s all about the memories you’ll make with family and friends and the fun you’ll have in a magical setting, and at Bearrel of Fun you’ll find all that and more. 


Check in time is 3:00 pm. Check out time is 10:00 am. A down payment is required to reserve the cabin. For complete rental terms, please read the Cabin Rental Agreement.


Purchase five nights and the sixth night is free.

6 Kid-friendly Craft Ideas To Fill Rainy Vacation Days

Read article : 6 Kid-friendly Craft Ideas To Fill Rainy Vacation Days

By: Embassy Suites by Hilton |  0 Shares     18 Reads

August 22, 2017 // Franchising.com // MCLEAN, Va. - You've picked the perfect location, booked your hotel suite, lined up attraction tickets and done everything you could to make sure your last vacation before the official end-of-summer will be a success for kids and parents alike. However, what will you do if the weather doesn't cooperate?

One of the top travel mistakes is relying on the weather forecast to dictate your plans, which is why it is essential to have a back-up plan. Unfortunately, rain is a distinct possibility in many destinations during late summer. A little creativity and planning can help parents keep kids entertained on rainy vacation days.

Simply pack a few simple craft supplies, and try these six ideas inspired by DIY mommy experts and the All Suites brands by Hilton (Embassy Suites, Homewood Suites and Home 2 Suites) for fun, kid-friendly crafts you can easily do in your hotel suite:

  1. Fun with felt finger puppets
    Add several small squares of felt in multiple bright colors, glue, scissors and a variety of trimmings like sequins to your vacation packing. When it rains, break out your craft supplies and make felt finger puppets, just like Joy Cho from Oh Joy! All-suite hotels like Embassy Suites, Homewood Suites and Home 2 Suites, all by Hilton, provide plenty of work space for simple crafts. Once the project is complete, kids and parents can stage their own puppet show. The All Suites brands by Hilton not only provide plenty of room for these projects, but plenty of different "sets" to perform the show.
  2. Suite, suite spa day
    When rain postpones outdoor activities, get creative like Oh Happy Day! and try some indoor enjoyment instead. Packing bathrobes, nail polish, bath bombs, scented lotions and plush flip-flops sets the stage for an in-suite spa day. Fill up the tub, add a bath bomb, soak kids' feet, and pamper them with kid-friendly manicures and pedicures.
  3. Funneling some fun
    If your hotel suite comes with a fully equipped kitchen, like at Homewood Suites, take advantage to recreate a vacation food favorite as shown in another example by Oh Joy! Use the complimentary grocery shopping service available at select properties to order simple ingredients like flour, sugar and cooking oil that you'll need to whip up a batch of easy, yummy funnel cakes.
  4. Sweet and sticky
    Need a spur-of-the-moment idea with supplies that are easy to find? Drop by any grocery or convenience store, grab a bag of marshmallows and a box of toothpicks. Let kids use these simple ingredients to build whatever sparks their imagination by poking the ends of the toothpicks into the marshmallows. It's a yummy, convenient alternative to carrying traditional building toys in your luggage!
  5. Unbottling their energy
    Turn an empty water bottle into a treasured souvenir. Simply use a kitchen funnel to pour dry rice or sand into a plastic water bottle, and add tiny memorabilia, such as shells collected from the beach, and other vacation-related bits. Kids will have fun turning the bottle to discover what's inside - just make sure that lid is on tight!
  6. Roadmap to fun
    Hotels often have colorful and helpful vacation maps of the destination. Another example by Oh Happy Day can spark inspiration to make your own map. Unfold a destination map, gather accumulated ticket stubs, brochures, admission stickers and wristbands - and tape them to their corresponding points on the map. Glue sequins or attach stickers to the remaining spots to visit when the rain stops.

Rain doesn't have to ruin your last vacation of the summer. When you stay at any All Suites brands by Hilton, you'll have all the room you need to fill rainy days with fun crafts. Visit www.hiltonbringit.com to learn more and book your suite.
