YAYS Antwerp Opera is the first YAYS Serviced Apartments in Belgium, which just opened this spring! 

YAYS combines the best of hotel hospitality and independent accommodations in an innovative serviced apartments formula rooted in urban sustainability. Each apartment is designed with real life in mind, with all the space and comfort you need to feel at home and the freedom of a fully equipped kitchen.

Choosing YAYS Antwerp Opera as your place in Antwerp is the perfect start to feel like a local. In the Diamond District, within walking distance from the Antwerp Opera House and the iconic Antwerp Central Station, the building lays on the perimeter of the ‘leien’, a series of elegant avenues that enclose the area that was once considered home to the real locals, known as the ‘sinjoren’ in the local lingo.

With convenient on-site parking, 94 spacious and stylish turn-key apartments inspired by the local Art Nouveau, and a neighbourhood full of character and unique attractions to discover, YAYS Antwerp Opera is the perfect location if you want to feel like a ‘sinjoor’ yourself.

Located just off the N1 trunk road in the Eilandje district, Holiday Inn Express® Antwerp City-North hotel is a 10-minute drive from the city centre, and short walk from a choice of restaurants. From the Antwerpen Noorderplaats bus stop in front of the hotel it's a short ride to the city centre and to Antwerp Central train station. Antwerp International Airport is 20 minutes' drive away.

A 10-minute walk from the hotel, the Red Star Line Museum examines Antwerp's history of emigration, while across the marina the striking MAS Museum hosts exhibitions exploring the city's culture and global connections. A 20-minute stroll along the river Scheldt takes you to central Antwerp, home to attractions including Rubenshuis, former home of the painter Rubens.

Host up to 26 people in the hotel's naturally lit meeting room. There's free WiFi throughout the hotel and a Business Centre in the lobby, plus on-site parking for a daily fee.

After a restful night's sleep in the welcoming guestrooms – some with marina views – tuck into the inclusive continental Express Start Breakfast buffet in the bright dining area. The Grab&Green self-service shop offers sandwiches and ready meals, while the 24-hour Lobby Bar overlooking the marina is the place to relax after a busy day.
