Your next chapter.
Chapter I · Heritage
Welcome to a Treasured Place
Before welcoming travelers, De Gulden Poorte was a city palace and later a bank. Its former life is still visible in the wooden bank counters, sculpted ceilings, marble fireplaces and distinctive historic lift. A renovation by LXRYHOME in 2024 brought a new chapter to this Antwerp address, preserving its character while creating an all-suite hotel. Even the suite names recall prominent banking families. Today, that story becomes the setting for your own.

Historic Elegance in the Heart of Antwerp
Once an 18th century Neoclassical city palace built under the direction of grand architect Jan de Vroey, and a bank securing the city's most prized riches, de Gulden Poorte reemerges as a luxurious haven offering exceptional all-suite accommodations and services at one of Antwerp’s most enviable addresses. Highlighting the many treasures and charms to be encountered during your stay include the bank's original bank teller, 18th century fireplaces, an exquisitely detailed wood-carved elevator, and the bank's old bank vault. Indeed, even the suites of de Gulden Poorte, drawing inspiration from its historical roots, have been named after prominent banking families.
