Our Journey

Hotel Matelote’s journey began with the fusion of two 16th-century buildings - a former office and a private residence, transformed into a singular, harmonious entity. This transformation was driven by a vision to preserve historical elements while infusing them with contemporary accents.

The inception of Hotel Matelote was a leap of faith, taken without prior experience in the hospitality industry, but with a clear vision to create something exceptional.

A unique experience

Each room at Hotel Matelote is crafted under the creative guidance of our interior architect, Peter Deelen. Peter was given free rein to ensure that every room tells its own story, blending 16th-century features with modern design principles. This approach has resulted in spaces that are not just places to stay, but experiences to be lived.

Our Philosophy

We believe in offering our guests more than just a place to sleep. We strive for a balance between simplicity and luxury, providing a serene retreat amidst the busy city life. Our philosophy centers on personal attention and a family-like approach to service, ensuring that every guest feels at home.

Our mission is to provide an exceptional experience that reflects the heart and soul of Antwerp, making every guest's visit memorable through our dedication to comfort, history, and personal service.
