Best Hotels in Turnhout

For a different side of Belgium, consider Turnhout. This is the historic capital of the Kempen region, a city built on paper and playing cards, which you can explore at the impressive National Museum of the Playing Card. The expansive Turnhout Begijnhof, a UNESCO-listed beguinage, offers a quiet escape with its white-washed houses and cobbled lanes, while the 12th-century Castle of the Dukes of Brabant anchors the city center. It’s a place where industry and heritage sit comfortably side-by-side, best experienced with a stroll through the Grote Markt.

The city center is compact and walkable, making it a convenient base for both leisure and business travelers. Families appreciate the easy access to the nearby De Liereman nature reserve, while solo visitors find the local cafes welcoming. Turnhout is well-connected by train, with direct services to Antwerp taking about 40 minutes, putting major city attractions within easy reach for day trips.

Accommodation here is practical and comfortable, dominated by reliable business hotels and a few charming boutique options. On HOTEVI, you’ll find choices like the modern Van der Valk Hotel Turnhout, the centrally located Hotel Taxandria, the budget-friendly B&B Hotel Turnhout, and the classic Hotel Turnhout City.
