The luxury lifestyle and design hotel in southern Holland invites guests to have an extraordinary experience. An old Franciscan monastery from 1903 was completely renovated and rebuilt. The designers added a lot of light and additional space to the old, dark masonry, creating an atmosphere that combines old and new. The design also incorporates the religious context, mixing it with a modern ambience. ""Heavenly beds, demonic events, angelic staff and a food sanctuary"" enchant guests in a luxurious manner. The bathrooms in this extraordinary hotel are also hallowed and contemplative places thanks to brilliant GROHE products. The GROHE Rainshower® Cosmopolitan spoils guests with massage functions and the GROHE Euphoria 110 Champagne hand shower set provides for exquisite, top-class showering pleasure.
