Where convicted criminals once served their sentences, since 2007 you can stay and indulge in a setting rich with history and luxury. The five-star Hotel Het Arresthuis is located in the historic city centre of Roermond, just a short walk from the Designer Outlet. The building’s former purpose is visible from afar—and once inside, that heritage is thoughtfully woven into almost every detail.
Here, you sleep in former prison cells. Unlike the years between 1863 and 2007, the smallest “cachot”—a room made up of three combined cells—now offers a sumptuous bed surrounded by luxury and contemporary design. The former offices of the director and the prison guard have been transformed into four lavish suites.
The team at the in-house fine dining restaurant Damianz guarantees a ‘criminally’ delicious experience—whether for lunch, dinner, or breakfast, which is served à la carte, setting a refined tone for the day ahead.
