Botanique, class in an oasis of tranquillity

Busiest point
The Botanique area is an inspiring environment with, among other things, listed heritage, various art galleries, museums and cultural houses. Specialist shops thrive here. Past Bourla Theatre, boutiques make way for antique shops on Leopoldstraat. A little further south, near Sint-Jorispoort, interior decoration takes over. The route is interspersed with trendy coffee shops, hip places to eat and famous bars. This area is in full development. One example is the redevelopment of the National Bank with an experiential space filled with interior inspiration.
At the heart of this shopping area is a superior five-star hotel that offers guests a complete experience including more than one in-house Michelin-starred restaurant. In the shade of the hotel you will find the Botanical Garden, a green oasis and haven of peace in the bustling city. A stone's throw away is the Theaterplein with its cosy weekend markets — a hotspot for many day-trippers and therefore a strategic location for entrepreneurs. On the Mechelseplein, visitors like to stop for a break, making it a perfect place for lively catering establishments.
