DECEMBER MAGIC
It’s the glimpse from outside looking in that instantly evokes the magical spirit of Christmas, the glow of thousands of twinkling lights on the monumental façades of the historic Weeshuis (an old orphanage).
The familiar scent of crackling firewood in the courtyard and the warm spices from the “Christmas kitchen” blend together like a perfect duet.
“Christmas ambiance in every suite, rustling gowns, you raise your glass: to all that has been, and all that is yet to come…”
Read on and discover all the possibilities!
