Park Inn by Radisson Antwerp

The quieter sibling of the grander Radisson BLU Astrid, Antwerp [see entry], located diagonally across the street, this 59-room Park Inn offers a more subdued hotel experience, with a sleekly lit foyer and rooms marked by moderate minimalist design, and to decent effect. Opened in 2008, following the building's conversion to a hotel, Park Inn is without the amenities of bigger hotels (and cheaper for it) but offers access to its Radisson neighbour's health club and restaurant. Located just seconds from the grand Central Station.
