Botanic Business

Beyond Functional

Antwerp’s leading Congress Centre. Stunning spaces. Multifunctional. For state-of-the-art meetings, incentives, conferences and events. And time out. Time to think. In a healthy environment, in gardens and within sacred walls. Time for business. And pleasure.

Botanic at a Glance

‘This restaurant is housed in the classy contemporary interior of the swish Botanic Sanctuary Hotel. Fine Fleur is the brainchild of two Dutch-born chefs, Jacob Jan Boerma and Thomas Diepersloot, who have added a whole new dimension to the concept of fine casual dining. First-class ingredients, variations on acidic, subtle textures and gutsy traditions through heart-warming sauces. Perfect from start to finish.‘

Michelin Guide 2022

‘A meal at Gert De Mangeleer and sommelier Joachim Boudens is a real experience. In this intimate restaurant, the chef offers a finely crafted cuisine with Asian inspirations, surprising and intense. His meticulousness keeps all your senses awake. A dizzying journey and emotions that we are not about to forget.’

Michelin Guide 2022

‘A knockout restaurant flanked by an equally striking bar. Take a seat in the cosy, romantic conservatory overlooking the indoor garden of the luxurious Botanic Sanctuary Hotel.’

Michelin Guide 2022

‘This smart, cosmopolitan brasserie, Antwerp’s offshoot of Bruge’s Bar Bulot, is set in the lavish Botanic Sanctuary Hotel. Traditional dishes such as vol-au-vent and veal kidneys in mustard are consummately updated to suit today’s palates. Top-notch ingredients and contemporary flavours, by way of exotic spices, add character to each dish.’

Michelin Guide 2022

‘As one landmark restaurant closes, another re-opens.’

The Brussels Times

‘From the supercars looping the leafy courtyard to the four-Michelin-star-strong armada of restaurants, Antwerp’s newest arrival truly means business. Conference types do love the super-luxe ex-monastery (replete with a 15th-century chapel) but it’s R&R that rules at the city’s only five-star, befitting its location by the local Botanic Garden. Few spas are so serene: think greenhouse-like pool, panoramic Finnish sauna and rigorous treatment menu spanning top-to-toe massages and TCM treatment plans; you’ll also find the holistic Saint Charles spa products in the beautiful ex-apothecary-turned-boutique.’

Conde Nast Traveller

‘The Botanic Sanctuary harnesses a former monastery, hospice and chapel to luxurious effect. Despite well-mannered decor and a sumptuous indoor pool, the food is what really dazzles: from exquisite breakfast buffets to a restaurant already awarded two Michelin stars.’

The Times UK

‘This exquisite hotel, set in a 12th-century monastery and surrounded by botanical gardens, is the epitome of peace and quiet. Rooms feature splendid wooden beams and period windows, but are otherwise modern and understated, with an earthy colour palette and in-room greenery.’

National Geographic

‘Formerly a 12th century monastery, Botanic Sanctuary Antwerp is a historic oasis in Belgium’s urban fashion hub. The retreat reflects a devotion to holistic wellness with its Botanic Health Spa and private members health Club.’
