If “T” is for “Trendy”, “B” is for Banks!

Summer’s approaching and with it, several holidays and long weekends. Why not take this opportunity to embark on a girly trip to Antwerp? We’re off the the Banks Hotel, a trendy and cozy boutique hotel settled right next to the MoMU, the Museum of Fashion.

The city of diamonds is also an ideal destination for shopping. Besides, an exhibition entitled “Le Tricot dans la Mode: Un Fil à Dénouer” is currently being held until August 14th 2011, presenting key designs by Chanel, Vivienne Westwood or Sonia Rykiel. The perfect opportunity for you to get your summer knit dress out of the closet! Near the Banks Hotel, you’ll find lovely little vintage stores, as well as secondhand dealers and cafés with sunny terraces, such as the Zuiderterras, a nice restaurant on the banks of the Scheldt.

Because it’s always nice to treat yourself to luxury, book the “Banks Junior Suite” for its stunning view on Antwerp. The rooms have been designed by the owners in a chic contemporary setting with a minimalist design. Otherwise, the “Executive” room is worth the try with its private terrace and sauna with outdoor shower!
