Hotels with Happenings A hub of happenings
Thanks to an abundance of event space, the hotel plays host to a number of community-driven get-togethers from spring markets to monthly exhibitions in the gallery space.

Reborn & Converted Wonders History in the Making
Built in 1886 as the Sint Elisabeth Gesticht orphanage for catholic girls, the structure was then occupied by the German Nazis from 1944 until the liberation in 1945, and then became a nursing home for the elderly, a care home for people with dementia, and a “sleep-in” for people experiencing homelessness. Before becoming Hotel Arena in 1992, the building also hosted the International Youth Center for Culture and Tourism from 1992.
