August is an exceptional place and a must-visit for anyone with a passion for architecture and design. Every detail of this hotel contributes to a truly unique experience—from the iconic buildings and thoughtfully chosen materials to the attentive and professional team. The subtle, distinctive niche scent in the hallway and Le Labo cosmetics in the bathroom almost broke my heart. The August team thinks of things you never even realized you needed. For me, August is not just a hotel but a symbol of Antwerp itself—a true attraction that captures the city’s spirit and charm. I highly recommend booking a visit to the August Spa for an added touch of relaxation and a thoughtfully staged experience through spatial design. August is more than just a stay; it’s an immersive design journey that stays with you long after you leave. Whether you’re a design enthusiast or simply looking for an extraordinary place to stay, August should be at the top of your list.

The hotel is so pretty and so well kept it is impressive. The spaces are well thought out and the extra services are a top-class add on. Breakfast is a full 3 courses. Plenty of options including delicious fruit and yogurts as well as eggs any way you like.

The only thing I would say is that the wardrobe door is not good - it is noisy and difficult to open and shut but if this is all I can find to complain about you can understand that it was a great stay. A little away from the centre but once I got used to the trams, it was easy and there are a few places in the immediate area for good food.

Everything was perefct the decor being all serax and the toiletries being le labo you know the standards are high and on trend , food is and amazing and there is nothing to much to ask everyone is so attentive. You have to book out the spa privately it’s beautiful. And have cocktails every night at the bar very nice bar staff. Definitely be staying again as we fell in love with Antwerp

The room is very quiet, and the bed was comfortable for a good night sleep and get rested. The staff was helpful and attentive. Breakfast was nice and good.

The room was comfortable but there was a smell like it hasn't been ventilated for a long time. The hotel area is quiet but a little too far from the city center. I spent the afternoon working on the library, it would have been nice to have the fireplace lit-on for a cosy atmosphere.

Located in a quiet area, this is a stylish property with minimalist but cosy decor. It is clean, new, bright and airy. The restaurant is equally stylish with excellent food and wine and very knowledgeable staff. All staff members from those at reception through to the cleaning and catering staff were polite, warm and friendly. We had a wonderful stay.

Great location, calm environment that smelt great!!! Friendly smiley staff who were very helpful. The room itself was comfortable, quiet and the treble height ceilings made the space feel more open! Loved the gardens as well, spa peaceful mind how they led out to the neighbourhood and the great restaurants and bars.

In the room it felt that male grooming products were missing and more hangers in wardrobe. More cooked options at breakfast, for example sausages would be good. The breakfast offering overall was excellent, just missed more cooked options as I don’t eat eggs.

I was thoroughly impressed with the entire stay. The atmosphere and design of the design was great - a beautiful mix of traditional (repurposed monastery/ church - very cool!) and modern elements, combined in a minimalistic way. I loved the high ceilings and the fact that the original wood has been maintained. It made me feel very calm and taken care of. The hotel facilities and rooms felt clean. The sheets had a high threadcount and felt amazing on my skin. This was probably the best hotel breakfast I have had thus far. It was really clear that the guest's experience was at the forefront.

Complaining about tiny things on a high level here: Couldn't find the TV remote and it would have been nice to have a smart TV. While I loved that the WC and the bathroom (sink and shower) were separate, it would have been nice to have another sink in the WC room. On the first night I struggled with the AC being too cold, but after adjusting it (and making sure to change the mode so that the device does not only cool but also heat) it was very comfortable.

Very interesting building. The room was really dark at night (which I really like) and the beds were comfy. The cocktails were excellent! Very nice breakfast too.

Just a small detail, the keys were a bit tricky when it came to turning on the lights. Also, we were directly above the kitchen which meant we had food smells during service.

The hotel design and atmosphere is really nice but the restaurant service, especially the manager at the bar was awful considering the price category. They are very slow and brought me not what I ordered, we ate the slightly bigger portion accidentally and they wanted to charge me the full price, saying that I ate it anyways.

The August hotel is an experience in itself. From the moment you cross the entrance, you feel a sense of magic. If you appreciate architecture and particularly the style of Vincent Van Duysen, then this hotel is a must-visit. The main room with the bar is enchanting, and the corridor leading to their amazing restaurant is equally stunning. Our room was a perfect blend of simplicity and elegance. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The August, and we will definitely come back again.

Nothing.
