Leuven Hotels

While the Flemish Region of Belgium, or commonly, Flanders, is significant as the home of the Brussels Capital Region, which contains a metro populace of over 1.8 million people, Leuven is a prominent pulse point as well. The city, for one, is the corporate headquarters of Anheuser–Busch InBev, which controls 25% of the global beer market. As a result, visitors can tour the massive Stella Artois brewery and quaff a pint of the famous suds. Leuven is also a university town and indeed, a palpable youthful spirit permeates the city’s myriad cafés, restaurants and pubs. The UNESCO World Heritage Grand Béguinage of Leuven is the undeniable flagship landmark for visitors to jot off the itinerary and photograph with abandon. Other points of interest to consider include Leuven Town Hall, Saint Peter’s Church, the fabulous Museum M, Castle of Arenberg, and Kruidtuin Botanical Garden.
