Hotel Julien

Hotel Julien is a boutique hotel in central Antwerp, set across two renovated 16th-century townhouses. Its interiors bring together the buildings’ historic character with contemporary design, vintage furniture and a carefully selected collection of photography. The result is a calm, intimate setting that feels residential while retaining the considered details of a design-led stay.

The hotel has 20 rooms and one suite. Accommodation forms part of a wider experience that includes a lounge, bar and rooftop, giving guests several spaces for a drink or a quiet pause. The atmosphere is relaxed and understated, with the property’s architecture and interior details providing much of its character.

Food and drink options centre on light meals, drinks in the bar and lounge, and an à la carte breakfast served in a spacious, airy bistro. The breakfast menu focuses on homemade food prepared with fresh ingredients. The bistro is open to everyone, including visitors stopping by for a last-minute breakfast, and reservations are recommended even though they are not required.

For relaxation, Hotel Julien offers a private spa and massage area. The hotel also accommodates gatherings such as meetings, brunches, birthday celebrations and intimate weddings, with arrangements shaped around the occasion. Photography, design furniture and the restored townhouse setting make the property suitable for travellers interested in architecture, interiors and a quieter boutique atmosphere, as well as for small-scale events.

Hotel Julien suits guests looking for a central base with an intimate scale, design-conscious surroundings and several in-house places to eat, drink and unwind. Its combination of historic architecture, contemporary furnishings, bistro dining and private wellness facilities gives the hotel a distinct character without separating it from the city around it.
