This is our Luxury pick for Leuven. It suits couples and city breakers who want calm surroundings near the Begijnhof but still want to walk to Saint Peter's Church and the museum. A gym, garden, terrace and air conditioning are listed, and pets appear among the property tags.
Skip it if you depend on easy parking, or if you need a hotel restaurant for dinner, since none is confirmed in our data. Families should also note that family rooms are not confirmed here.
