The Rubens Antwerp

Welcome to The Rubens
Something new is taking shape behind these walls...
In the heart of Antwerp’s Old Town, Hotel Rubens Grote Markt is entering a new phase. The familiar hotel is being expanded and carefully restored to become The Rubens Antwerp, a place that stays true to its history while looking ahead.
​
The project brings together several historic buildings on this site, which are being preserved and woven into a new whole. When completed, the hotel will offer 83 rooms, a restaurant, a city garden and spaces designed for both guests and the city around it. The garden, hidden from the street, will become a quiet place in the middle of Antwerp’s busy centre.
​
The look and feel of the hotel are inspired by the work of Antwerp’s most famous painter, Pieter Paul Rubens. His sense of warmth, balance and depth is translated into a contemporary style, with thoughtful details that connect past and present in a subtle way.
​
Throughout the construction, respect for the neighbourhood and its heritage is central. The goal is not only to create a hotel, but to add something meaningful to the city, a place where visitors feel welcome and where Antwerp itself is clearly present.
​
The Rubens Antwerp is expected to open in winter 2027.
Until then, this site tells a story of change, care and continuity.
Thank you for taking a moment to look inside.
