Van der Valk Hotel Antwerpen

Two dogs a room, a pool and sauna, and Rivierenhof down the road

This hotel is part of the Daisy Curated Collection. Its information has been researched and verified, but Daisy has not yet personally stayed here. When she does, this page will be upgraded to a full Daisy Verified inspection.

Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
This is the larger of the two Van der Valk hotels in Antwerp, out on Luitenant Lippenslaan where Borgerhout meets Deurne, with a restaurant, a bar, an indoor pool and a sauna. It is a fifteen-minute tram ride from the Grote Markt and has free parking, which matters if you have driven in. Rooms are big by Antwerp standards. It suits a traveller who is touring by car and wants room to spread out.

Why it's in the collection

Rivierenhof, the big provincial park in Deurne with its castle, lake and long tree-lined walks, is about twenty minutes on foot, and Te Boelaerpark and Boekenbergpark are both a short tram ride away.

Best suited for

Dogs go into a set number of selected rooms, so book those rooms rather than turning up with a dog.

The open question

How the welcome translates in person, at dinner and around the hotel. That's what a Daisy stay will confirm.

Dogs are placed in a number of carefully selected rooms, so ask for one at booking. The pool and sauna are not for dogs. Guests are asked to keep dogs supervised so they do not disturb other rooms.

Where we can't yet confirm a detail first-hand, we mark it plainly rather than guess. A Daisy stay will close every gap.
