    Trendy and colorful apartments in the heart of Antwerp

    SHWAY offers in Antwerp a collection of trendy apartments at various locations. All apartments are situated in the central part of the city, allowing you to reach the coolest shops, dining spots, and attractions in no time. It's the perfect base for a weekend in Antwerp with your partner, girlfriend, or family!

    The newest addition of apartments can be found under the name SHWAY 8, also known as Maison Brederode, and are named after important figures from Antwerp's history, such as 'Le Leopold'. This apartment references the Belgian politician and mayor of Antwerp in 1872, Leopold de Wael. The styling of the apartments preserves the building's classic features, blended with a modern and colourful interior, complete with a French touch.

    You can choose from two one-bedroom apartments and two two-bedroom apartments. Your choice will depend on your travel group and, of course, your personal preference. One thing is for sure: all apartments offer all the facilities for a comfortable stay. For example, bed linen and towels are made of Egyptian cotton, the bath products are from Rituals, and you will have a fully equipped kitchen and bathroom with a rain shower.

    In your own kitchen, you are free to cook up a storm undisturbed, but if you do want to venture out, Antwerp is full of restaurants where you can dine. From luxurious, gastronomic restaurants to cosy bistros, the choice is vast. In the centre, but also close to SHWAY 8. A stone's throw away, for instance, is the Michelin-starred restaurant Het Gerecht, where you will be treated to seasonal dishes prepared with fresh, top-quality ingredients. A perfect ending to a delightful day in this vibrant city!

    Strolling through the South

    The trendy district 't Zuid in Antwerp is known for its stately mansions, atmospheric squares, and interesting museums. Art lovers can visit various art galleries and museums, such as the FOMU and the M HKA. You will also find a selection of restaurants, cafes and terraces. Are you in Antwerp for shopping? Then 't Zuid is your place to be. You'll find all sorts of unique shops and boutiques, especially in Volkstraat. At house number 40 stands the beautiful Liberaal Volkshuis Help U Zelve, one of the finest examples of art nouveau in the city.

    Trendy apartments

    The apartments by SHWAY form the perfect base for a city trip in the bustling city of Antwerp. You'll find the apartments spread across the city, catering to small as well as large groups, from 2 up to even 12 people. They offer various facilities for a relaxed and comfortable stay, from good Wi-Fi to Rituals bath products. The modern and colorful interior creates a pleasant atmosphere, and the check-in is done via a code system. Nonetheless, you can always rely on host and co-founder Liselore for assistance and the best tips.

    Child-friendly stay

    Shway isn't just perfect for couples looking to get away, but it's also an amazing spot for groups or families with children. The spacious apartments offer plenty of room for 2 to even 12 people, making it ideal for groups or families wanting to enjoy time together. Additionally, you'll find highchairs and beautiful bunk beds, ensuring a delightful experience for the entire family!

    Cook yourself or eat out?

    After a long day in the city, do you feel like having a relaxing evening 'at home' on the couch? Thanks to the fully equipped kitchen, you can choose to prepare a tasty and simple meal in your own apartment, and then flop on the couch for a nice series or film. Prefer to go out instead? The city is bursting with great restaurants, from luxurious Michelin-starred establishments to cozy eateries. Take for instance the nearby Het Gerecht, or discover other gastronomic gems like Huis de Colvenier, Non Solo Tè, Graanmarkt 13, and Le Pristine.
