BANKS Antwerp now part of the Carlton Hotel Collection

Carlton Hotel Collection is expanding. The four-star BANKS Antwerp, located in the historic heart of the city, is the latest addition to its international hotel business. With its idiosyncratic character and unique location, the hotel fits perfectly within the collection. Carlton takes over both ownership and day-to-day operations. After fifteen years, owners Carla Bartels and Daan Terlingen handed over the baton on July 1. On the same date, Roelof Meijering will start as hotel manager in Antwerp. BANKS Antwerp is the second hotel in Belgium for Carlton Hotel Collection, bringing the total number of hotels to thirteen.

August - A new sanctuary

April saw the opening of August, a former Augustinian cloister that has been transformed into a sublime hideaway under the guidance of legendary Belgian architect Vincent Van Duysen in his first-ever hotel project. Housed within five heritage-listed structures, the 44-room hotel embodies a tangible celebration of history and Flemish culture in the heart of Antwerp's Green Quarter. A sense of serenity permeates the public and private areas, from the stunning bar and lounge set in the old nun's private chapel, to the intimate guestrooms that reflect the authentic dimensions of the original convent chambers. Bookend the experience with three exquisitely private walled gardens, a spa with an outdoor swimming pool, and an elegant guest library, and it quickly becomes apparent that August transcends the definition of hotel to emerge as the epitome of a modern day sanctuary.
