Le Tissu Hotel, Antwerp
There is a great story behind this place! This boutique hotel and design studio is a former priest's house originally attached to the Brialmontlei Abbey.

The building was purchased by DMG Architectural Solutions as their interior design studio. They found that most of the time the building was empty so they decided to turn the place into a boutique hotel. It still functions as a working design studio showcasing fabrics, decor and furniture.

The basement was originally the wine cellar. It has been fully renovated and now includes the kitchen, breakfast room and a meeting room with a view of the back garden.
