What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Ever wondered what constitutes an artistic atmosphere? Then try a stay at this former Philips tower in the heart of Eindhoven, city of light.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Eindhoven Centraal station is five minutes away on foot, and the shops and restaurants of the center sit just outside.
The rooms
Rooms in the original factory tower keep their raw concrete pillars, exposed brickwork, and original four-metre ceilings.
The spa
A Finnish sauna and Turkish steam bath form the thermal suite, and treatment rooms use [comfort zone] skincare products.
At the table
Bar & Brasserie Lumen serves Mediterranean dishes beneath a ceiling of exposed light bulbs. Out front, colorful cushions line the terrace benches.
How it began
Architect L. Scheffer built the concrete tower in 1921 for Philips, who burned light bulbs day and night to test their lifespan.
