SIR PLANTIN ANTWERPEN

Sir Plantin Hotel is a nice modern boutique hotel in Antwerpen, around 20 minutes walk from the commercial centre. It's dark, but clearly, a really interesting decoration in the rooms: antique characters are part of a big poster at the wall, behind the bed.

When checking in, I was told the carpar was not available due to reform. I think it would have been preferable to have know prior to arrival. The car had to sleep on the street, paying 3.5 Euros for overnight parking... Considerably cheaper than what the cost would have been in the hotel room.

A nice boutique hotel... with some character of its own.

MERCURE LIÉGE... BACK TO THE FIFTIES?

The Mercure Liége is relatively morden hotel... with some decoration that looks as you are back in the fifties... a mix of modern and classic touch

I was somehow surprised that was not able to add my stay to my Accor account as my booking had been done via a travel agent... Good way to gain fidelity to customers...

Carpark is nextdoor, but no direct entrance to the hotel...
