Hotelo Kathedral – A Favorite for Families in Antwerp

All 33 rooms feature murals inspired by Flemish artist Pieter Paul Rubens, setting the hotel apart from competitors with its quirky decor. Each room has a comfortable double box spring bed and an en-suite open-plan bathroom with an open tub and free Nuxe toiletries. Some rooms offer direct views of the Cathedral of Our Lady and include an open-plan bathtub in the bedroom space.

A daily continental breakfast buffet is served with fresh, seasonal ingredients like eggs, muesli, pastries, bread rolls, cheese, ham, fresh fruits, yoghurt, and orange juice. Guests can order a glass of sparkling wine or try a Belgian Jenever, a local specialty, at the BarO. The outdoor terrace enhances the dining experience with cathedral views, while the coffee house on site serves drinks all day.

The hotel offers secure bike storage and luggage assistance, with an efficient check-in and check-out process. Free WiFi is available throughout the building, and daily housekeeping refreshes each room. Meeting and banquet facilities are on site, and guests have access to an electric vehicle charging station and a parking garage nearby.

Hotelo Kathedral is located in Antwerp's historic centre, across the street from the Cathedral of Our Lady. The Meir shopping avenue is a 5-minute walk away, and the Grote Markt square with its restaurants and pubs is around the corner. The Rubens House and the Plantin-Moretus Museum are both within a 10-minute walk from the hotel.

Guest reviews highlight the central location and the comfortable double box spring beds as key positives. Earplugs are provided in rooms because of street noise from the busy square, especially at weekends. The hotel is a 20-minute walk from Antwerp Central Station and 3 minutes from the nearest metro stop.
