The story
A 15th-century monastery, three Michelin stars, and 108 rooms
Botanic Sanctuary Antwerp occupies the former Elzenveld monastery — a cluster of 15th-century buildings arranged around a cloister garden in the heart of Antwerp. The conversion has been handled with the reverence the architecture demands: 108 rooms and spa suites inhabit the former monks' quarters, a celebrated restaurant operates where the refectory once stood, and the original chapel remains intact, available for wedding ceremonies of up to 150 guests in a setting of genuine and unimpeachable antiquity.
The hotel holds membership of The Leading Hotels of the World, a distinction earned in part through the kitchen of chef Viki Geunes — three Michelin stars and a philosophy of precision and ingredient integrity that shapes every menu, including those tailored for weddings. The combination of a medieval chapel, a Monastery Garden, 13 distinct event settings, and one of Belgium's most celebrated kitchens places Botanic Sanctuary in a category shared by very few venues anywhere.
