What it’s good at
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
This modern building could pass as a nice holiday resort providing quality accommodation and a good range of spa treatments and beauty care.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
In Nijmegen's Goffert district, a ten-minute drive south of the historic city centre.
The rooms
Rooms are simple and quiet, designed for easy resting between long sessions in the mineral pools.
The thermal pools
Bring a swimsuit.
A glass atrium arches over the 33-degree indoor thermal pool, and a second heated bath sits in the garden.
The spa and gym
Private salons offer Thalgo marine body wraps and thermal massages, and Life Fitness machines line a glass-roofed gym.
Spa Restaurant Marina
Dining booths line the glass railing above the indoor baths, serving coffee, salads, and dinner overlooking the water.
At the table
Restaurant Flow serves international dishes indoors, and The Club Lounge pours wine across a garden terrace.
How it began
Architect Jo Scheffer designed the curved wings in 1995, taking cues from Bauhaus and 1930s Dutch constructivism.

How we rate hotels.

The eight vibes
Design
Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.
Luxe
Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
