Congress Venue: Hilton Antwerp Old Town

A Historic Setting in the Heart of Antwerp

Located on the iconic Groenplaats square, the Hilton Antwerp Old Town is housed in a magnificent 19th-century building, blending timeless elegance with the charm of Antwerp’s historic center. The structure, originally built as a grand department store, retains many of its original architectural elements, such as soaring ceilings, ornate stonework, and majestic staircases.

Today, this heritage-listed building stands as one of Antwerp’s architectural jewels, overlooking the Cathedral of Our Lady and surrounded by cobbled streets, lively cafés, and cultural landmarks.
