HOTEL DE MEELFABRIEK

The Silogebouw will house ‘the place to sleep’ in Leiden: Hotel De Meelfabriek. ‘Meelfabriek’ means ‘flour mill’, so anyone booking a room there will be sleeping in a place where many tons of flour used to be stored. The concrete silos will be opened up and transformed into special rooms and short-stay apartments, offering robust accommodation with a charming interior. Guests will still experience the authenticity of the former mill while enjoying the luxury of a contemporary 4-star hotel.

The upper floors will house a Skybar, a restaurant and a unique venue for events, creating a new landmark on the top of the Silogebouw. The familiar S-shaped block building will be retained and will soon accommodate a suite with fabulous views of Leiden.

HOTEL DE MEELFABRIEK

Immerse yourself in industrial history where thousands of kilos of grain were stored for years. This place is artfully transformed to provide a host of fascinating experiences. From a delightful café to an elegant rooftop terrace that crowns the top. Hotel De Meelfabriek seamlessly integrates modern luxury with iconic architectural structures, forming the beating heart of the site.

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 heart beat faster, allowing you to experience timeless charm and an oasis of tranquility. 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.

Any time of the day, year-round, enjoy the most delicious dishes complemented by a spectacular view. On the top floor, breakfast seamlessly transitions into lunch, dinner, late-night drinks, and everything in between. On summer days, the experience is complete as you can enjoy drinks on the lovely terrace and have a romantic dinner at a table for two. And in this new landmark with panoramic views, you can also host large gatherings.

The personal attention woven throughout completes the experience.

HISTORY OF THE SILOGEBOUW

The Silo Building is composed of three parts, with the oldest part dating from 1907 and the other two from 1937 and 1938. It is considered the first concrete silo building in our country. The building is situated on the Meelfabriek Square and the Singel. From the waterfront, the sloping white plastered facade stands out because of its remarkable detailing. In form and use of materials, the building is a now rare building from the pioneering phase of reinforced concrete construction.
