Last August I had the pleasure to have a sneak preview in this brand-new luxury hotel in the city of Antwerp. Botanic Sanctuary Antwerp will open in November 2021 and it will be the first 5-star hotel in Antwerp, member of The Leading Hotels of the world.
Apart from its outstanding luxury rooms, it will also become a place to be for foodies visiting Antwerp as it will be hosting not less than 4 fine-dining restaurants with Michelin-starred chefs.
The location of the hotel in the heart of Antwerp, next to the botanical garden is perfect for visiting the city and the amazing ‘must sees’ like The Rubens House, the Royal Museum of fine Arts, … It’s also surrounded by boutiques, theatres and fashion districts.
Another great asset is the parking space including a valet service.
The site itself consists of 20,000 sqm and is hiding an almost 200 years-old Botanical Garden. The origins can be found in the 15th century when the monastery was built. The ancient walls surrounding this hotel, the old pharmacy that will be transformed to a luxury boutique where you can buy the wellness products that are used in the wellness part of the hotel and of course the historic chapel will lead you to an
unforgettable experience.
