Nestled in a chic 17th-century mansion in Antwerp, De Witte Lelie entices with its vibrant decor, exceptional service, and serene courtyard garden.
"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."
