Amidst the Hortus Botanicus of Antwerp

Botanic Sanctuary owes its name to the remarkable location where it resides, within the Plantentuin van Antwerpen, affectionately known as 'Den Botaniek.' This botanical garden spans nearly 1 hectare and was established in 1825 in the heart of Antwerp. It hosts over 2000 different species of herbs, flowers, and plants, easily discoverable as you stroll along the winding paths, thanks to convenient name tags. It's easy to momentarily forget that you're amidst a bustling city while exploring here. Due to the abundance of medicinal herbs growing around the hotel, Botanic Sanctuary incorporates herbs and homeopathy into its beauty treatments. They've even developed their own product line, available for purchase at the 'Botanic Saint Charles' concept store located next to the hotel. Many of the herbs used as ingredients in these luxurious beauty products can be found within the botanical gardens.
