About the venue

Opened in 2000 in the vibrant heart of Antwerp, Horta comprises a modern grand café and an awe-inspiring Art Nouveau Hall. Situated between the theatre district, the busy Meir and the trendy Schuttershofstraat, it's the perfect spot for your next rendezvous.

Decorated with the original iron rafters recovered from the demolished Maison du Peuple by famous Art Nouveau architect Victor Horta, we pay homage to an architectural masterpiece.
