Chic designer hotel with artistic rooms, courtyard garden, and swanky bar




















"Hotel De Witte Lelie, the White Lily, is an exquisitely designed guest house, filled with personal charm, privacy, and intimacy. Here three seventeenth-century canal houses have been joined together to create Antwerp’s most luxurious small hotel." - Mark Fedeli

"De Witte Lelie, Antwerp Three 17th-century gabled homes were connected to create Antwerp’s quirkiest hotel, De Witte Lelie. Owners Ann and Bart Busschop stocked 11 rooms with such personal touches as paintings by the hotel’s night receptionist. Grab a drink at the diminutive Bronze Bar, or sink into a leopard-print couch in the lobby near the chess set. The hotel arranges tours with Tanguy Ottomer, the city’s most prominent personal shopper. From $307. 32/(0) 3-226-1966. This appeared in the October 2013 issue."

"There is this lovely hotel called De Witte Lelie that was designed by Axel Vervoordt inside an old town house—it was one of the earliest hotels that he designed, I think. You sort of feel like you're in someone's house and they have a beautiful garden in the back where you can sit and have breakfast. I just love Antwerp; it's incredibly sophisticated and stylish and totally unpretentious. Plus, it doesn't feel touristy at all."
"Hotel De Witte Lelie is a small boutique Hotel located in the centre of Antwerp. There is free Wi-Fi and a terrace with a romantic garden. The hotel offers suites with air conditioning and a private bathroom. Breakfast is served on the terrace during warmer months. De Witte Lelie is located only a 5-minute walk from the Grote Markt. The Groenplaats is 8 minutes away. Public transport is available nearby ." - My Boutique Hotel (en)
"There are hotels that bowl you over with their undeniable hotel-ness: the doorman, the bellhop, the smiling concierge and the hustling waiters, pushing room service carts up and down the corridors. And then there are places that are barely hotels at all, little more than a comfortable and exquisitely designed guest house, trading all the pomp for a more personal charm, privacy and intimacy." - Tablet Hotels
