During the room renovations, the owner had to replace the whole facade, window frames, roof and main installations while the operator renewed the complete interior.  Special for the room design is the semi-transparent bathroom as well as the lighting gadget above all bedheads. The third phase consisted the 17 meeting rooms, restaurant, open kitchen, back of house and the biggest meeting room known as “wintertuin”.
