we stayed in room II, the black/white/gold room. it's a bit of a hike up the stairs, especially with luggage in tow! but walking in was like coming home, in a good way. it felt comfortable and homey, yet modern at the same time. our room had wide-plank wooden floors painted black, clean white walls and a gold ceiling and antique moulding. behind the bed is a desk space with a purple flokati rug on the floor. i never thought a purple flokati rug would make me lustful, but i suddenly want a purple flokati rug! there are oversized vases holding black painted sticks in one corner by the three double-windows. framed by white sheers and luxe black velvet drapes, they really let a lot of light in, which i think it key to making a black-heavy room work.
plus they don't skimp on the details. pressed high-quality bed linens, tolomeo lamps over the bed, flatscreen tv and dvd player, iittala candle holders, illy coffee, vipp soap dispenser and trash can, soft luxe towels and the yummiest smelling milk body wash.
my pictures don't really do the room justice, but you get the idea.
and the view looking north!
i highly recommend m0851 to anyone visiting antwerp.

since i'm pretty much obsessed with the decor in our room, i've put together this little collage of things to get the same look. the only problem on my end is i don't have wood floors, wide moulding, big windows, and my boyfriend opposes drapes or curtains of any kind with a fiery passion. so i'll just be content staring at these pictures over and over again!

Your photos are utterly gorgeous! I love this aesthetic too but lack discipline in terms of selecting the right things, not wasting money on stuff I don't need to have enough for purely beautiful items, etc.
oh it's beautiful
Looks really really really gorgeus!
If I ever go to Antwerp I want to stay
there as well. Only thing that I was wondering is
that it looks like there a piece of molding missing?
I wonder why?
thank you so much for all the photos and inspiration you post!! everything is so cool.
I'm green with envy! It looks like an incredible place to stay. Did you happen to buy any of their leather goods: handbags, belts, coats, etc? I used to work down the block from their Upper East Side store in NYC and have always wanted one of their bags.
cupcakewalker- ahhh me too. i need to stop buying stuff in general.
mauri- i was wondering that as well. i think maybe there was a fireplace in that stop originally? not too sure.
gemmifer- no i didn't get anything! looks like they have some great things though.
Thanks for the tour, if we ever go to Antwerp together we will stay there. My husband has been to Antwerp and said it was great x
what a gorgeous room!!
