Have you ever been to Leuven? This historic city is located in Flemish Brabant, Belgium. It's easily accessible by car or train. The biggest attraction is the iconic and especially beautiful town hall. Since we Dutch can't always trust the weather forecasts, we sometimes have to settle for a rainy outing. Fortunately, Leuven is a wonderful city to visit, rain or shine, with plenty to do both indoors and outdoors. You can visit the large Beguinage or take a walking tour of the old cobblestone streets. Don't worry about your accommodation; I've already selected the best hotels in Leuven for you!
To give you a good overview of Leuven, De Hoorn is an excellent place to stay. From your loft, you have a stunning view of the old city. You can also walk straight into the city from the hotel. This hotel has large rooms with concrete walls, giving it an industrial feel. The hotel also has a house that can accommodate up to 14 people. Did someone say "friends' weekend"? The hotel has its own bar and restaurant where you can enjoy everything from breakfast to dinner. Brussels Airport is 15 kilometers away, making Leuven a perfect destination for an extra trip before or after your holiday.

Why just visit the Great Beguinage when you can stay right next door?

Prefer a small-scale hotel? Then try Boutique Leuven. They have only a few rooms available, and they even have their own entrance. The hotel is located in a quiet neighborhood, yet close to all sorts of attractions. This makes it one of the best hotels in Leuven. For example, the M-Museum is less than 500 meters away, where there's always something fun going on. The hotel rooms have a private bathroom, a TV, a microwave, and a small refrigerator. You can park your car nearby for a small fee, day and night. Convenient!
