Hilton Antwerp Old Town

The rooftop bar provides spectacular cathedral views, while the location enables easy exploration of museums and shopping.
Hilton Antwerp Old Town occupies a commanding position on Groenplaats 32 in the heart of Antwerp's medieval city centre, Belgium, directly adjacent to the Cathedral of Our Lady — one of the largest Gothic churches in the Low Countries and home to two original Rubens altarpieces. Groenplaats, the main square linking the old town's commercial core with the cathedral precinct, places guests at the centre of Antwerp's tourist and cultural life. The Grote Markt with its 16th-century guildhalls is five minutes on foot, the Rubenshuis museum is fifteen minutes, and Antwerp Central Station — with direct rail connections to Brussels, Amsterdam, and Paris — is accessible in twenty minutes on foot or ten minutes by tram.
The property offers 211 modern rooms across multiple categories spanning standard rooms and superior options through to suites. All rooms feature Hilton's signature bedding, blackout curtains, high-speed Wi-Fi, and in-room amenities consistent with the brand's four-star standards. The central position and reliable brand quality make this a consistently popular choice with both leisure travellers and the business professionals who visit Antwerp's diamond industry, port authority, and European corporate base.
The rooftop bar is one of Antwerp's most celebrated hotel amenity spaces, providing panoramic views over the Cathedral's spire, the medieval city silhouette, and the River Scheldt. It serves cocktails, Belgian beers, and light bites and is popular with hotel guests and Antwerp residents alike. The hotel restaurant covers all-day dining from breakfast through dinner. A fitness centre with cardiovascular and weight machines is available to guests, and dedicated meeting rooms accommodate corporate events and small conferences.
The Hilton concierge team handles local restaurant bookings, theatre tickets, and day-trip logistics to Bruges (45 minutes by train) and Ghent (30 minutes), making this a practical base for visitors exploring multiple Belgian cities. Room rates run approximately €125–€195 in low season and €175–€280 at peak demand.
