Cool hotel in Antwerp, full of life
A hotel to linger in
The motto of VIA Antwerp is "A hotel for restless spirits & creative minds", and you notice it as soon as you walk in. During the day people work in the lobby, in the evening the bar fills up, and local art hangs on the walls. It is the kind of cool hotel in Antwerp where you stay downstairs longer than you planned.
A lobby where something is always on
The lobby doubles as a free coworking space, seven days a week from 07:00, with fast wifi, charging points throughout and air conditioning. You do not need to reserve a desk, and you do not need a room either. During the day freelancers, guests and neighbours share the tables, which keeps the ground floor lively.
In May 2026 VIA Antwerp held an opening night during Antwerp Art Week, and work by Sanah Fransen, Lene Thys, Maarten Denaeyer and Katrien Vandecruys hangs in the building all year round. On New Year's Eve MEA hosts a ticketed evening with dinner, the bar and a DJ. See what is coming up on What's on.
Cocktails at MEA
From breakfast to dinner, all on the ground floor of VIA Antwerp.
MEA, the restaurant and bar on the ground floor, is where the evening starts. Jonathan Scheerlinck wrote the cocktail list. From Tuesday to Friday the bar is open until 23:00, and on Saturday the bar stays open until midnight.
