General Overview
Hilton Antwerp Old Town is a business-focused hotel located centrally in Antwerp. With 210 rooms and 13 flexible meeting spaces, the venue prioritises meetings and events as a primary revenue stream. It is particularly aligned with the pharmaceutical sector, supporting conferences, congresses, and corporate meetings with a strong focus on operational excellence and compliance.

Location
The hotel is situated in the heart of Antwerp’s business centre, directly above a metro station and within 20 minutes' walking distance from the central train station. The surrounding environment is commercial and urban, providing easy access to key business infrastructure. Antwerp International Airport is 44 km away and well connected by over 50 daily train services. Parking is available through an underground Indigo car park with 485 spaces, including EV charging, with direct access to the hotel lobby. Coaches may pick up and drop off directly at the main entrance.

Design
Externally, the venue presents a stone façade reflecting early 20th-century design, blending with Antwerp’s historical architecture. Large arched windows allow ample daylight into both bedrooms and meeting areas. Internally, the hotel offers a traditional style with high ceilings, bright interiors, and neutral tones. Meeting spaces and public areas are designed for functionality, integrating natural lighting and privacy features that support a compliant environment for healthcare-related events.

Meeting Spaces
The hotel features 13 meeting rooms and a ballroom spread across two dedicated floors. The second floor hosts smaller flexible rooms (6–130 pax), while the third floor includes the Belle Epoque Ballroom and additional plenary rooms, covering more than 2000 sqm on one level. The largest space, the Belle Epoque Ballroom, accommodates up to 1000 delegates in theatre style with front projection. All rooms benefit from natural light and can be fully privatised. The hotel’s dual entrances, including one from the car park, facilitate discrete access for delegates. Foyer areas between the floors support breaks and informal networking.

Bedrooms
Accommodation is spread across the 3rd to 5th floors and consists of 210 rooms in three categories: Hilton Standard Room, Hilton Executive Room, and Hilton Suite. Standard rooms include work desks, complimentary Wi-Fi, laptop-sized safes, tea/coffee-making facilities, irons with ironing boards, and mini-fridges (empty). Business traveller needs are effectively supported, with the option to remove bathrobes and Nespresso machines from upgraded rooms if required.

Restaurant and Public Spaces
Blend 32 Kitchen and Bar, located on the ground floor, serves as the main restaurant for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It has a seating capacity of 185 and offers international cuisine with a Belgian twist. The venue allows partial privatisation through visual dividers, though fully private dinners are better accommodated in meeting rooms. Additional public spaces include an executive lounge and a rooftop terrace for up to 50 guests. 

Experience
The hotel is experienced in hosting pharmaceutical and healthcare-related meetings, including advisory boards, internal meetings, congresses, product launches, and sales events. Group sizes range from 200 to 600 participants. Hilton Antwerp Old Town holds MSAs with key healthcare agencies and collaborates with regional life science organisations and clusters, underlining its established healthcare meeting capabilities.

Fitness
A fitness centre with both free weights and exercise machines is available on-site. There are no spa or pool facilities, and the hotel does not position itself as a wellness destination. Its market positioning is centred on being the largest conference hotel in Antwerp.

Hilton Antwerp Old Town is officially rated as a 4-star property.

It does not promote itself with potentially non-compliant terms such as “luxury,” “award-winning,” or “resort.” and avoids entertainment-focused messaging.
