U Hotel

U Hotel brings together a restaurant, a small luxury four-star boutique hotel and a cocktail bar in a historic building beside the marina and the MAS. Located at Nassaustraat 42, 2000 Antwerpen, the venue offers a setting shaped by the water, the harbour atmosphere and the presence of the museum across the way. It suits visitors looking to combine a meal, drinks and an overnight stay in one address.

The restaurant focuses on fresh, daily ingredients, with distinctive flavour combinations alongside refined classics. The cooking is presented as part of a broader hospitality experience rather than as a formal dining ritual. Lunch, dinner, an aperitif or breakfast can each stand alone, while the different elements of the venue can also be combined for a longer visit.

The interior balances the character of the historic property with a contemporary sense of comfort and style. The building dates from the early nineteenth century and was designed by architect Pierre Bruno Bourla. Its renewed use preserves that architectural identity while adding a polished setting for dining, cocktails and accommodation. The atmosphere is intended to feel refined without becoming stiff, with personal hospitality and a relaxed pace.

The hotel has 15 rooms, each positioned as a comfortable base near the marina and MAS. The accommodation forms a natural extension of the restaurant and bar, making U Hotel suitable for a city break, a night after dinner or a stay centred on Antwerp’s waterfront. The combination also works for guests who prefer a compact itinerary, with breakfast available the following morning.

U Hotel is a fitting choice for travellers who value design, food and location in equal measure. It can accommodate several styles of visit, from a daytime lunch or extended aperitif to an evening meal followed by a boutique hotel stay. The waterside setting adds a distinct sense of place, while the menu and cocktail offering give the venue a social character beyond its rooms.
