Klooster Elsendael

This former monastery, now an enchanting hotel, is a lovely symbiosis of history, culture and contemporary luxury, based on inner well-being.

Modern design exists in harmony with the historic details so characteristic of this stunning building. Strolling through the garden is like stepping into the past as the tranquillity and beauty greet you in the present. Whilst the comfortable rooms and elegant meeting facilities reflect the qualities of a 3-star hotel, the entourage and unique location place this hotel in a class of its own.

From weddings to conferences or company trainings, the dedicated staff is skilled in making any occasion a memorable one. In and around the city of Boxmeer, a wealth of activities await you. With the beautiful Bergerbos woods tucked behind a bend in the Old Maas river and the German border just beyond that, a more picturesque setting is hard to find.

Rooms: 19
Rate: 69.5 - 120 EUR

The hotel offers an attractive, historical atmosphere, but without concessions to modern comfort. You will feel the rich history everywhere within the thick monastery walls, like in the authentic convent garden, the hotel rooms and the function rooms. Let yourself be surprised by the many possibilities the monastery has to offer.

All hotel rooms have been decorated in a taut and modern design. This design corresponds to the historical details which are still visible in the whole building.

From October 2007 the Cas Spijkers Academy for highly talented chefs will be located in Klooster Elsendael. We can highly recommend having a dinner in our restaurant where excellent chefs prepare some meals.
