What we think

Tucked behind the walls of a former monastery, Botanic Sanctuary Antwerp redefines luxury with a deep respect for its past and an eye toward the future. The meticulously restored architecture, from soaring stone archways to original wooden beams, provides a sense of serenity, while the rooms and suites exude understated opulence with Belgian linens, custom furnishings, and spa-like bathrooms. The culinary scene is unmatched—boasting multiple Michelin-starred restaurants, including Hertog Jan, where Flemish gastronomy takes center stage. But the true soul of the hotel lies in its Botanic Health Spa, a world-class sanctuary offering botanical-infused treatments, hydrotherapy, and medical wellness programs. It’s an escape within the city—where history, indulgence, and well-being are woven together effortlessly.
