Botanic Sanctuary Antwerp is the 1st Hotel 5* in Antwerp, Belgium. Hidden away in a botanical garden, this charming hotel offers 108 romantic rooms. We particularly appreciate the monastic architecture, the spa and the 3 Michelin-starred restaurants. The hotel itself is also selected by the Michelin Guide.

We advise you to book your stay at Botanic Sanctuary Antwerp via Booking.com, which often offers free cancellation. Send us a message on Instagram if you go, it would make us super happy.

 

Couples' opinions

Couples who have stayed at the hotel praise in particular the beauty of the building, the architecture and the staff who are extremely attentive to your every wish. It's the ideal place to celebrate a special romantic occasion.

 

Rooms and Suites

Inside, the hotel is refined, bright, and unforgettable, even if you are used to beautiful hotels. The ancient walls, exposed beams, high ceilings, and raw materials give the place real soul.

The hotel's 108 rooms and suites are spread across five buildings: the cloister, the presbytery, Sint-Joris, Sint-Elisabeth, and the former home of Filips Van Marnix. Here are our favorites:

1 • Classic Room • PhotoPhoto
2 • Deluxe Terrace Room • PhotoPhoto
3 • Terrace Suite • PhotoPhoto
4 • Suite Diamant PhotoPhoto
5 • Botanic Suite • PhotoPhoto

Depending on the room or suite you choose, you will have access to the following amenities: king-size bed, private terrace, Nespresso coffee machine, Smart TV, large bathtub, shower with heated floor, fireplace, and private spa with jacuzzi/sauna.

 

The fantastic breakfast buffet

Every morning, breakfast is served in the form of an absolutely fantastic buffet. On the menu: bread, pastries, waffles, a selection of Belgian cheeses, artisanal charcuterie, bacon, delicate fish and seafood, eggs, oatmeal, granola, fresh fruit, yogurt, fruit juice, jams, hot drinks... All accompanied by a glass of champagne and complemented by an exquisite à la carte menu.

 

The 3 top restaurants

For your meals, the Botanic Sanctuary Antwerp three unique restaurants. Almost secretive, the Hertog Jan and its two Michelin stars invite you to enjoy an exclusive Omakase menu in a minimalist setting. This term, borrowed from Japanese cuisine, means "I leave it up to you." Thus, each dish is a free expression of the chefs' creativity and artistry. Please note that the restaurant is only open two weeks per month, from Tuesday to Saturday.

With one Michelin star, Fine Fleur offers cuisine that strives for perfection in a contemporary setting, from Wednesday to Saturday.

Finally, Henry's Bistro welcomes you under its stunning glass roof. Here, the spirit of the botanical garden is intertwined with modern luxury. On the menu, we love the langoustine gyozas, foie gras, ponzu, yuzu, daikon, wasabi, and truffle. The sweet touch? A chocolate cake, brown butter ice cream, and buckwheat.

 

A spectacular spa

The hotel spa, nestled under a huge glass roof, offers you a moment of rest and tranquility in the heart of the garden. Its state-of-the-art facilities are spread over 1,000square meters and three floors: an 18-meter-long panoramic pool, a hot tub, several saunas, steam rooms, a variety of sensory shower experiences, an ice fountain, and a tea room.

You can also book a wide range of treatments and massages. Two of the 10 treatment rooms are double rooms, allowing you to enjoy this moment with your partner.

 

A cinematic wedding

If you are looking for an exceptional venue for your wedding, Le Botanic Sanctuary Antwerp offers you the possibility to celebrate your union in one of the many exquisitely decorated reception rooms. The 15th century chapel inside the hotel provides a magical setting for the ceremony. Outside, the Monastery Garden, a large green garden, welcomes your guests.

 

In the heart of the Diamond City

You are only 10 minutes walk from Antwerp Central Station. Be sure to visit the beautiful botanical garden, located right next to the hotel. For shopping enthusiasts, take a trip to Meir, Antwerp's most prestigious and busiest shopping street. On the dock side, Antwerp is reinventing itself with bold architectural designs. To the south, it is becoming a fashion capital, both cool and trendy.
