SLEEPING WHERE GRAIN WAS ONCE STORED
This will be the place to sleep in Leiden. Anyone booking a room here will be sleeping in the very spot where many tons of flour were once stored. The concrete silos are being cut open and transformed into unique rooms and short-stay apartments. The original concrete silo walls form the basis of these robust spaces with their charming interiors. They are combined with pure materials such as wood, marble, and linen. Soft neutral tones with a pop of color will make any art lover’s heartbeat faster, allowing you to experience timeless charm and an oasis of tranquillity. The authenticity of the former factory remains palpable in the luxury of this contemporary 4-star hotel.
Notably, the well-known S-shaped block building is being preserved, with the S now standing not only for Sleutels (Keys) but also for Special Suite.

ENJOYING AT GREAT HEIGHTS
SPORT & WELLNESS AT SCHOONMAKERIJ
Once the place where grain was washed, Schoonmakerij (cleaning house) is now dedicated to cleansing both body and mind. The ground floor and first floor are connected to the adjoining Silotoren, together creating a welcoming City Spa where activity and relaxation go hand in hand.
Unwind in the sauna or steam room, enjoy a hot stone massage or indulge in a luxurious beauty treatment. Looking to combine relaxation with an intensive workout? You can do that too. The central lobby is the perfect place to connect with others, unwind, enjoy a drink or read the newspaper – all designed to enhance your sense of wellbeing. The personal attention woven throughout the entire experience is what truly completes your visit.
HISTORY OF THE SILOGEBOUW
The hotel will be housed within three Silogebouwen (former grain silos), which merge almost imperceptibly into one another at ground-floor level. Here, the concrete columns and the silo openings are striking features. The silos extended from the bottom to the top of the buildings and were used to store large quantities of different types of grain. The oldest building, dating from 1907, is recognisable by its white-plastered Dutch gable, visible from the Zijlsingel.
Years of construction: 1907, 1937, 1938 / Transformation: from 2026
