In the historic heart of Antwerp, within walking distance of everything that makes this city so special, you’ll find the two stylish apartments of Guesthouse Galalith.

What makes this place truly unique is the story behind it. Owner Pascale Masselis, trained as a goldsmith at the Antwerp Academy of Fine Arts, has created a world where her love for design, craftsmanship and history come together. Her search for the perfect interior to showcase her jewellery led her to an abandoned 1885 haberdashery shop in Paris, complete with hundreds of drawers. The entire interior was carefully moved to Antwerp and today forms the soul of both her brand and this guesthouse.

The apartments themselves are designed with the same attention to detail. Pascale worked largely with second-hand finds, creating spaces that feel refined and personal. Not a standard interior, but a carefully curated mix of materials, shapes and textures – warm, minimalist and full of character.

You can choose between two apartments, each with its own atmosphere. Opal Oasis feels light and serene, with a black-and-white palette and clean lines. Emerald Escape is located on the top floor and features high ceilings, original wooden beams, and a soft, earthy color palette. Both apartments are suitable for two people (plus a baby) and offer a fully equipped kitchen, a comfortable bed, and a stylish bathroom. It is also possible to book both apartments together, which is ideal for those traveling with more people and looking for both privacy and extra space.

The location completes the experience. You’re right in the middle of the city, surrounded by galleries, fashion boutiques, restaurants and small cafés. Everything is within walking distance, from historic landmarks to hidden gems you’d normally only discover through locals.
