Billed as one of the first 'literary' hotels around, this place, housed in a beautiful former convent, is remarkable for its concept. It has a library-bar-cafe-hotel-lounge, whose decor is a melange of funk and traditional, and wall-to-wall books (some 60,000, most for sale for €5). Thirty contemporary and minimalist rooms feature polished concrete and recycled wood, most with bathtubs.
A gorgeous gin bar has been added as well as a cooking school. Guests who book directly through the website may choose one book for free.
