Sleeping in a former convent in Antwerp
Presentation
Practical information
Cult place in Antwerp
Certainly! Here is the translated text in the requested languages and order: Decidedly, the Groen Kwartier is a green neighborhood undergoing a revival in Antwerp. On this former military hospital site, all the historic buildings are being given a new life. The pavilions, reserved for 150 years for soldiers under care, now house lofts; the chapel is occupied by the Michelin-starred restaurant The Jane; the former boiler house has become a co-working space; and the headquarters office accommodates offices.
In spring 2019, the Augustinian convent built for the 110 nursing sisters was transformed into a hotel with Belgian architect Vincent Van Duysen.
Inspired by monastic life, guests of the hotel are invited to follow an increasingly tranquil path, just as the sisters did before, from the public reception area to the seclusion of the rooms. The three gardens have been opened and evoke the calm of yesteryear. The colors have also been restored to the original hues. Two of the simply furnished rooms have retained the same dimensions as the original monastery cells (16m2).
While the parquet floors, tiles, door moldings, and marble of the chapel have been preserved and renovated, the black wrought iron and transparent stained glass are among the contemporary touches added, reflecting the new function of the premises. Behind the typical brick walls of Flemish neoclassicism, August has opened its bar in the chapel, and in one of the naves, the winter garden houses the restaurant.
