The best romantic getaways
The 4* August Hotel is a rare gem located in Antwerp, Flanders, Belgium. It is a former chapel meticulously renovated into a hotel. The place retains its sacred heritage while embracing modernity with a sublime interior design. Watch this video on Instagram to get in the mood.
By the way, I advise you to book your stay in August in advance. You can also find alternative accommodation at Booking.com or even discover the romantic hotels recommended for their atmosphere and the best deals on offer.
There are 44 rooms, each uniquely decorated with great attention to detail. Depending on the room you choose, you will have 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 hallway surrounding the original chapel. The menu was conceived and designed by Chef Nick Bril. He challenged himself to go beyond his signature menu and created a globally inspired a la carte menu that focuses on products, seasons and terroir. Try the excellent Piedmontese beef tartar 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! The city is full of hidden gems, art galleries and bold architecture.
