300+ romantic spots for your next getaway
The 4* Hotel August is a rare gem located in Antwerp, Flanders, Belgium. It's a former chapel meticulously renovated into a hotel. The place preserves its sacred heritage while embracing modernity with a sublime interior design. The hotel has been selected by the Michelin Guide. Watch this video on Instagram to get in the mood.
We recommend you book your stay in August via Booking.com, which often offers free cancellation. Send us a postcard if you go, we'd love it.
There are 44 rooms, each uniquely decorated with great attention to detail. Depending on the room you choose, you'll enjoy the following amenities: king-size bed, Egyptian cotton bed linen, private bathroom with shower and/or separate bathtub, Le Labo welcome products, flat-screen TV, air conditioning and private balcony.
The hotel's restaurant is located in the corridor surrounding the original chapel. The menu was conceived and imagined by chef Nick Bril. He challenged himself to go beyond his signature dishes and created a globally inspired à la carte menu, focusing on products, seasons and terroir. Try, for example, the excellent Piedmont-style beef tartare with black truffle, parmesan and 64°C egg.
If you want to relax with a drink, the bar is a must. You can choose between the original chapel with the high ceiling (the most beautiful place in the hotel for sure!) and the beautiful covered terrace outside. Many snacks, small appetizers and drinks including the house cocktail with Gin Marula, rose water, champagne and rose syrup.
During the day, visit the wellness area for a sauna, steam room and outdoor pool. The spa has a separate entrance and is also accessible to non-residents. The perfect place to recover from a long day exploring Antwerp!
August is located in the former military domain of Berchem, 10 minutes from the Antwerp train station. Nearby, don't miss the Zurenborg district, with its stunning art nouveau houses. If you're celebrating a special occasion, check out The Jane, a 2* Michelin restaurant, just a 2 minute walk away. Antwerp is a cosmopolitan city to discover on foot!
