Hotel Rubens - Grote Markt

Hotel Rubens - Grote Markt is a boutique hotel at Oude Beurs 29, on a quiet street less than a minute from Antwerp’s Grote Markt. Its setting combines the lively restaurant and bar scene around the square with a calmer place to stay. The hotel occupies a historic part of the city, with museums, the cathedral, the Meir shopping street, Groenplaats and antique shops all within walking distance.

The accommodation includes several room categories, from standard rooms at the front of the building to deluxe rooms with views over the patio or garden. Garden rooms and garden suites include private terraces, while junior suites and a penthouse suite provide a more spacious option. Rooms are described as light and comfortable, with individually adjustable air conditioning and complimentary Wi-Fi.

Hotel Rubens places emphasis on a relaxed atmosphere rather than a formal hotel setting. The garden and patio offer quiet outdoor spaces away from the activity of the Grote Markt. The patio sits beside the historic 16th-century Pagaddertoren, adding a distinct local setting to the morning breakfast service. The breakfast buffet includes both hot and cold choices and can be served outdoors when weather conditions allow.

The hotel suits travellers looking for boutique accommodation close to Antwerp’s main historic and cultural sights. Its location works well for city breaks focused on walking, museum visits, shopping, dining and architectural sightseeing. The range of rooms also includes suites for guests seeking additional space or a private terrace.

Covered private parking is available around 150 metres from the hotel, with advance reservation required. Some spaces include electric-vehicle charging facilities. Drivers arriving in Antwerp should also check the city’s low-emission-zone requirements before travelling, particularly when using a foreign-registered vehicle.
