An independent publication

De Poort van Antwerpen Editorial manages this editorial website. It is not an official service of a former domain operator, a venue, a school, a game developer or a broadcaster. Links identify sources and further reading rather than commercial or institutional affiliations.

Hospitality in the details

De Poort van Antwerpen is a reading room for the work behind a thoughtful stay or gathering. We cover the choices that connect a guest, a venue and an organising team. This editorial publication does not operate the former Rilland hotel, sell its rooms or take venue reservations.
