The Vibe: Neither a classic hotel nor a flat share community, and yet both at the same time, the quality of the interiors has definitely not been compromised.

The Area: Hip Ostend, also home to the European Central Bank.

The DNA: The third property for the culturally-conscious local hospitality group Lindenberg features a range of communal areas – guests are encouraged to use the community kitchen, a light-flooded quiet space, a library of books and records, an indoor farm, a rooftop terrace, an all-day restaurant, bar and a bakery. Furnishings are of high quality and presence with design details and contemporary artwork dotted around accordingly; the photogenic style of the property reflected throughout. 

Suite-Me-Up: The guest rooms have been created purposely compact in a bid to get ‘residents’ out into the public spaces: socialising and co-living, creating a community of likeminded individuals. There’s just two versions: the standard room and the slightly bigger deluxe.
