Botanic Sanctuary Antwerp

Newly Engaged? These Hotels Come With Centuries-Old Churches | Vogue

"For those with a flair for the dramatic, the towering gothic chapel at Botanic Sanctuary Antwerp awaits. This 108-room hotel occupies a former 13th-century monastery and lies beside the city’s botanical garden. Those saying “I do” within the 1400-era chapel can begin their wedding day at the property’s soothing spa, which sprawls across three floors and one thousand square meters. After the ceremony, drift outside to the Monastery Garden for atmospheric canapés, and conclude the event in the hotel’s plush bridal suite. Guests traveling for the big day will be well positioned for exploration: discover over 2,000 species at the neighboring botanic garden, and immerse in the city’s fashion legacy with a day of shopping the greats." - Nicole Kliest
