𝗔𝗻𝘁𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗽 | A Sanctuary Hidden in the City’s Heart

🌧️ Midnight Serendipity We were drinking in the square when rain began to fall. Dashing through alleys, we stumbled into a quiet garden— Red bricks, damp petals, shadows of ancient trees. Next morning, we realized: That accidental oasis? Our dream hotel all along. 🏰 800 Years of History Once a 13th-century convent-hospital, where nuns grew herbs to heal. Now reborn as: Antwerp’s first Relais & Châteaux property A "sanctuary" of stone arches, apothecary shelves, and hushed corridors 🛏️ The Art of Quiet Luxury Rooms bathed in natural light, linen like clouds Breakfast with champagne + herbal infusions (a ritual, not a meal) No ostentation—just space to breathe 🚶‍♀️ A Walk That Lingers Antwerp Botanical Garden: Tiny but mighty, where plants burst through cracks Rubens House (10-min walk): Step into the painter’s 1600s world MoMu Fashion Museum: Homage to the Antwerp Six Kloosterstraat: Vintage treasures and slow browsing Cathedral of Our Lady: Rubens’ Assumption awaits #BotanicSanctuary #AntwerpDiaries #SlowTravelEU
