Hidden behind a discreet facade, in the middle of the historic center of Antwerp, is set Hotel Julien. Two restored 16th-century buildings form the backdrop for this urban boutique hotel with international allure. Think: green patio, a roof terrace with a view of the cathedral, and a design interior where Belgian craftsmanship and Scandinavian simplicity blend.

With only 21 rooms and suites, a stay at Hotel Julien feels intimate and special. All rooms are furnished for two people and feature elegant details such as Carrara marble in the bathrooms, Egyptian percale bed linen and photography by Gallery 51. For those who want that little bit extra: the Experience Rooms offer exclusive extras, the Experience Suite has a separate living room and the Experience Terrace Room surprises with a spacious private terrace.

In the morning, a fresh breakfast awaits in the airy breakfast room and during the day and in the evening you can enjoy light meals and snacks, prepared with the freshest ingredients. Start your evening with a cocktail at the elegant bar, snuggle up by the fireplace or toast a glass of wine on the roof terrace overlooking the cathedral. For pure relaxation, dive into the underground Spa: an enchanting area with sauna, hammam, hot stone bed and ice scrub – completely private for you and your party.

Hotel Julien is within walking distance of the bustling Meir, the Groenplaats and countless restaurants and galleries. A place where peace, luxury and Antwerp flair come together effortlessly.
