Hotel August (Antwerp, Belgium)

About August

Situated on the former Military Hospital site in Antwerp, it embodies the character of the area at its finest. The intimate 44-room & suite property lies amidst a truly vibrant part of the city. Surrounded by restaurants, bars, parks and creative areas, August re-envisions its historical central function with a bespoke hotel, an open restaurant and bar, dedicated wellness area with private swimming pond and secluded gardens. Inside, every detail has been meticulously envisioned for total comfort: tailor-made furniture, iconic lighting, handwoven carpets, hand glazed tiles, ceramics & tableware and more waiting to be discovered. Het Groen Kwartier (the Green Quarter) is a pedestrian-only luxury development on the site of a large 19th-century former military hospital complex. It is located right next to PAKT, an exciting repurposed industrial site housing a melting pot of creative businesses in renovated warehouses, with an ambitious rooftop city farming project. Also nearby is the Zurenborg area - with its stunning Art Nouveau and fin de siècle-style mansions -, The De Koninck brewery - a family-run business that has been brewing the local beer “bolleke” since 1833 -, and the main ring road. The Jane, a two-star Michelin restaurant, is located in the former hospital chapel at the center of the complex’s ensemble.
