Once an idyllic monastery, now a unique luxury hotel in the middle of a botanical garden: at the Botanic Sanctuary Antwerp, the name says it all. In addition to five of the city's best restaurants, which together boast an impressive four Michelin stars, you can expect a spectacular spa with a holistic concept. From naturopathy and phytotherapy to traditional Chinese medicine, no wish remains unfulfilled. Last but not least, Antwerp attracts visitors with its iconic diamond district, excellent Belgian beers, and opulent art by the Baroque painter Rubens.
Pamper yourself at the phenomenal Botanic Health Spa: centuries-old phytotherapy, herbal and natural medicine handed down by monks, acupuncture, osteopathy, massages, lymphatic drainage, exfoliation, and much more will leave nothing to be desired. Once you've relaxed enough in the pool, saunas, and steam baths, Antwerp beckons with its contrasting architecture, iconic diamond district, and colorful nightlife. Treat yourself to an extensive beer tasting or follow in the footsteps of Baroque painter Pieter Paul Rubens, who once lived in Antwerp, at the Royal Museum of Fine Arts.
The 108 accommodations were inspired by the Japanese design principle of wabi-sabi, which focuses on the aesthetic imperfections of nature. Rough plaster, calm colors, marble, and rustic wooden beams create a striking contrast to the modern artwork on the walls and Scandinavian minimalist furniture. Some rooms and suites offer a private terrace with beautiful views. Among the jewels of the hotel are the Spa & Wellness Suite and the Diamond Spa Suite with Jacuzzi, sauna, treatment beds, and Peloton bike for your ultimate well-being.
With five of the city's best restaurants, the hotel's gastronomic offerings reflect Antwerp's culinary excellence. The two Michelin-starred Hertog Jan impresses with innovative West Flemish cuisine and its own greenhouse, beehives, and herb garden. Fine Fleur and Het Gebaar, both awarded one Michelin star, shine with the finest ingredients combined with creative techniques. The sumptuous Sunday brunch guarantees a luxurious taste experience with champagne, lobster, and oysters, while Henry's Bar delights with a changing cocktail menu and first-class wines and spirits.
