Maek Hotel Antwerp Central - Handwritten Collection

Maek Hotel Antwerp Central - Handwritten Collection is one of the most ideally located hotels in Antwerp, an artful haven in the city centre near the train station, Antwerp Zoo and A Room with a Zoo convention centre. We celebrate the Art of Making in every detail, from the local craft books in our social hub to the sketchpad by your bedside. With 128 thoughtfully designed rooms, a gym and tranquil Stadspark views, our central Antwerp hotel is your creative retreat in the heart of the Diamond District.

Picture this: an Antwerp hotel where your creative soul finds inspiration steps from cafés, restaurants and quiet Stadspark. Here for work? Our five meeting rooms, for 10 to 70 guests, are modern spaces that inspire productivity and decisiveness. Stroll 11 minutes to immerse yourself in the city's creative spirit at Rubens House, which showcases the great painter's works. The MoMu Fashion Museum and the Gothic-inspired Cathedral of Our Lady, with a landmark spire, are both around 20 minutes away.

Whether you're arriving by air, sea, train or car, the hotel is easily accessible. The airport is 5 kilometres away, the port is within walking distance, Central Station is across the street, and the N1 from Brussels is only a few hundred metres away.

We can't wait to see you at Maek Hotel Antwerp Central, our lap of luxury where we celebrate the art of making and making a difference in the centre of Antwerp. Our staff will provide you with a warm welcome and will gladly cater to all your requests.

trottingmind Families - 7/20/2025 TripAdvisor review

This hotel is undergoing transformation from Mercure to Handwritten. I was told they have very big challenges as pricing is affordable but what you get for it is questionable for either brand. Pro(s)- - Location is king, very central, very connected to everything in Antwerp - Price was affordable for Mercure - Most of the Staff is very friendly, special thanks to Tyrone who personally made sure that I actually see it as a better experience and not just bad, he is the reason this is not a 1star mostly, the food and beverage head who was at bar, that guy was also very nice and friendly and top customer service, Emma at the check in was also extremely friendly, and the night manager, such a gentleman - Breakfast was quite nice and all staff were extremely polite and friendly - Gym is new so not many things but is clean. - Drinking water fountain Room for improvement (let's be constructive) - - Gold member amenity kit was a waffle (what a joke for someone spending a month in a year with ACCOR) and missing slippers and they said bathrobe, I mean why I need a bathrobe when you have no pool/sauna& it's a laundrable item, not for me - I was upgraded(as told) to a better room but honestly smallest Mercure room I have stayed in, it was stuffy and very congested, specially because the staff decided to open the child bed at 4 pm when we checked in. They DO NOT have all day room service/housekeeping. This is a big problem as the night manager went on a hunt for a normal pillow for me. - Carpets are dirty but I was told they are removing those and putting wooden flooring - No slippers, just the slipper cover and on asking the front desk guy named JOE, a hairless gentlemen at the reception VEYR RUDE PERSON, he was so arrogant and told em I am not first to complain and like he didn't give a second thought to be rude consistently. - Drinking water is only at reception, no bottles in room or no filters/spots on each floor. - No choice of fruit tea and the coffee machine was like a dump, maybe their team need to travel to other Mercure/novotel (read my review in Brugge). - The sofa that was open looked worn out and dirty from the sides visible. - Small bathroom/toilet, like if someone tripped its end of that person. Honestly, the staff except JOE guy was really hardworking and making sure the experience is better. But changing to Handwritten by new paint and some furnishings, won't fetch many great positives unless they make roomier rooms or at least more facilities
