In 1909 the former post office building was located on a busy crossroads of access roads into the city. The first postilions and horse cars used to stop here.
The richly decorated building, which was built using several styles, has been turned into the ‘De Post’ shopping centre and luxury hotel '1898 The Post'. Remember to look up at the beautiful 52-metre clock tower!
It looks beautiful on the inside as well. The historic building has been renovated, but has not lost its industrial character. You can go there for fashion, interior design and beauty as well as for a nice lunch, brunch or breakfast.
The hotel “1898 The Post” is located on the top floor of the building. Don’t forget to stop by the stylish cocktail bar The Cobbler for a drink with a view of the Sint-Michielsbrug bridge and Graslei.
