One of the most beautiful hotel properties in Belgium, with huge rooms, a spa and 5 restaurants

Attention: luxury! This former monastery for hospitable nuns has been masterfully transformed into one of Belgium's finest hotel properties. You're greeted in the light-filled former orangery, and you're immediately taken care of. You'll be pampered from start to finish. The rooms are huge, with original ceilings and restful golden khaki and taupe tones. A 3-storey spa and 5 restaurants (3 of which are already Michelin-starred, including the iconic Hertog Jan) complete the hotel's high standards.

Gewoon waanzinnig! Het begon al met een heel warm welkom! Nog geen minuut op de rotonde aan de ingang gereden en er stond al direct iemand klaar voor onze bagage. Ook het personeel was kei vriendelijk en gaf ons de nodige informatie wat er met onze bagage en auto zou gebeuren en hoe we hem de volgende dag konden terug halen met het ticketje. Daarna bij het binnenkomen waren we een beetje te vroeg dus zijn we naar de bar gegaan en hebben we genoten van een drankje. De bar is heel gezellig en het personeel aanwezig was van top-klasse! Toen het tijd was om in te checken werden we begeleid tot aan de kamer en werd er de nodige uitleg gegeven. Sinds het onze eerste keer was in het hotel, werd er ook een plattegrond getoont met de nodige uitleg waar de spa was enzovoort. Goed geslapen propere kamer met uitzicht op een prachtige authentieke binnenplaats. De spa was ook mooi verzorgd en het indoor zwembad op het dak was echt een uitblinker! Tijdens het uitchecken werd al gebeld om de wagen uit de garage te halen dus minimum wacht tijd. Ook hebben we nog twee flesjes water gekregen voor onderweg naar huis deze kleine attentie had ik echt niet verwacht. Hier kom ik graag met plezier terug en zal mijn vrienden aanraden hier ook is naartoe te gaan! Juist 1 puntje was dat ik savonds probeerde om het raam open te doen voor een beetje te verluchten maar dit ging niet, voor de rest was alles perfect. Alvast bedankt Aan het personeel tot snel!

This is ONLY a review of service but still hopefully useful.
I was visiting Belgium for a couple of days and called the hotel to ask about day passes for the spa facilities. They put my call through to spa - no answer. 3 times. I asked if reception could tell me whether there was such a thing as a day pass. Was told it depended on how busy the hotel was but possibly. (Could reception not look to see how busy the hotel was?)
Called back 4 hours later having had no news as promised. Told by a different member of staff that I could just turn up on the day and get a pass for sure but he couldn’t tell me how much it would cost. Called AGAIN when I arrived in Antwerp and got through to the spa this time (yeay!) and was told there’s is never access to the spa at weekends because they are too busy. Challenged this based on what I had previously been told and was dismissively told that they understand but no sense of apology for wasting my time or the stack of misinformation at this point.
Then I receive an email. Oh yeah I had also emailed the spa direct to get info and was told - and this is a direct quote -

“Dear (they didn’t write a name)

Thank you for your interest in the Botanic Health Spa! YOU CAN BY A DAY PASS
1 PERSON 200 EUR
2 PERSONES 250 EUR

I’m looking forward to hearing back from you!”

Ohhhhh so u CAN get pass to use the facilities but only if you pay over 50% of the cost of a room! Wow!
So I don’t know about you but I think it’s bad service and also, frankly a bit of a rip off… but yeah, it’s probably lovely once you’re inside…who knows. Not me. :)

We had called the Botanic Sanctuary hotel to specifically book a room, none other, and they had assured us that this specific room was booked for us.
But when we arrived, they had given it to another customer and they had so-called “upgraded us”, without our approval.
The first “upgraded” room was on the ground floor, dark, with absolutely no charm.
The second “upgraded” room was a combination of two tiny rooms linked by a dusty brownish corridor with a terrible mouldy smell, a so-called 2 rooms suite.
They had deceived us, we leaved.
This behaviour is unfortunately typical of businesses thinking they are successful enough to not feel obliged to make efforts for their customers anymore nor to keep their word.
We’ll return to Antwerp which is beautiful city but we’ll go back to August, also an ancient convent converted into a hotel, where they still know what an impeccable service is.
