Hotel Flora

Nestled in the heart of Old Town Antwerp, Hotel Flora is a secret garden of color, comfort, and serenity with a history that dates as far back as 1445. Every room is a work of art by acclaimed interior designer Gert Voorjans and landscape painter Nils Verkaeren, each with its own distinct color palette and personality. From the striking blue entrance and plush pink sitting room, to each individually designed guest room, Flora invites curiosity and delight as you move from one space to another—all while maintaining an air of sophistication. Vibrant, expertly curated, and full of character, it’s a visual love letter to the beauty of color.

Located just off a lively street, this little oasis feels worlds away from the bustle, yet it’s only a short walk to the city’s main sights. The staff couldn’t be warmer or more genuine, and mornings in the garden are pure serenity. Watching Chef Frank prepare breakfast in the open kitchen was a highlight—the decadent menu included homemade chocolate spread, freshly baked breads, local cheeses, made-to-order omelets, and more. It’s the kind of breakfast that’s worth rolling out of bed for.

Hotel Flora is perfect for travelers seeking a cozy, design-forward stay that feels luxurious yet accessible. It’s a truly memorable gem—and one I happily recommend to every traveler.
