HOTEL COLVENIER is an intimate suite hotel at Sint-Antoniusstraat 6, 2000 Antwerp, in Belgium’s historic Sint-Andries quarter, beside the Fashion District and a short walk from the old city centre. Built around the long-established Colvenier hospitality address, it is chosen for private, characterful accommodation rather than a conventional large hotel experience, with the associated Restaurant Colvenier adding a destination-dining option for guests who want to stay close to Antwerp’s design, shopping and museum streets.
What to Expect at HOTEL COLVENIER
Expect a small-scale stay in an older central-city building, where the appeal is the setting and sense of privacy. Sint-Antoniusstraat sits within the compact streets behind Nationalestraat, an area shaped by Antwerp’s historic residential fabric and its contemporary fashion trade. This is a useful base for travellers who prefer to walk: the ModeMuseum, Kammenstraat’s independent shops, the cathedral quarter and the Scheldt riverfront all lie within the central core.
The signature experience is pairing suite accommodation with a meal at Restaurant Colvenier, the hotel’s associated restaurant, rather than treating the property as a stopover alone. Dining reservations should be made separately and ahead of time, particularly for Friday and Saturday evenings. Hotel accommodation is arranged directly with the property; room types, inclusions, check-in arrangements and restaurant opening days can vary, so confirm these details when booking.
- Sint-Andries location: Stay on a quiet historic-centre street near Nationalestraat and Antwerp’s Fashion District.
- Suite-focused accommodation: A more private alternative to a large, standardized city hotel.
- Restaurant Colvenier: An associated dining address for a planned dinner close to your room.
- Walkable cultural circuit: ModeMuseum, Plantin-Moretus Museum and Groenplaats are reachable on foot.
- Historic-city atmosphere: The surrounding lanes, older façades and cobbled sections reward an unhurried approach.

Visiting Tips, Getting There & Nearby Pairings
Arrange arrival time before coming, especially if reaching Antwerp by train or arriving on a Sunday, when reception arrangements may be more limited at small properties. From Antwerpen-Centraal, take a De Lijn tram to Groenplaats and continue on foot through the old centre; the Groenplaats interchange is served by premetro lines 3, 5, 9 and 15. Drivers should reserve or check availability at Indigo Groenplaats, then expect a short walk through narrow central streets. For dinner at Restaurant Colvenier, reserve well in advance instead of assuming walk-in tables.
The immediate area has uneven paving and cobbled stretches, so rolling luggage, pushchairs and wheelchairs may need extra care. Because the hotel occupies a historic building, contact the hotel before booking to discuss the entrance route, lift access, room layout and any step-free requirements. Within a 5-to-15-minute walk, pair a stay with the exhibitions at MoMu—Fashion Museum Antwerp on Nationalestraat, the UNESCO-listed Plantin-Moretus Museum on Vrijdagmarkt, and the Cathedral of Our Lady near Groenplaats. Kammenstraat and the streets around Nationalestraat offer independent fashion shops, cafés and casual dining.
