The jail where you'd want to be locked up:
Notorious prison is transformed into luxury hotel (and guests still
sleep in the cells)
By Anthony Bond
PUBLISHED:| UPDATED:
- As one of the Netherlands' most feared prisons for almost 150 years, Het Arresthuis was not a place you would want to stay. - But following its closure and something of a makeover, people are now paying good money to spend a night at the former jail.
Grim: As one of
the Netherlands' most feared prisons for almost 150 years, Het Arresthuis was
not a place you would want to stay
Luxury:
Following its closure and something of a makeover, people now pay big money
to spend at least one night in the old holding cells
Change: The 105
prisoner's quarters have been converted into 40 spacious rooms
Intimidating:
This picture shows Het Arresthuis when it was a notorious prison
The 105 prisoner’s quarters have been
converted into 40 spacious rooms, including 24 standard rooms, 12 deluxe
rooms, and four suites, all of which feature modern furnishings and chic
interior design.
All of the rooms are equipped with air
conditioning, a flat screen TV, free WiFi, and even a personal coffee and tea
machine.
More...
The hotel also features a sauna, fitness
centre, central patio with olive trees, and an organic herb garden.
Het Arresthuis opened its doors in 1862 and
quickly established a reputation as an intimidating jail.
Fancy: All of
the rooms feature modern furnishings and chic interior design. This picture
shows guests enjoying dinner
Makeover: This

Stylish: This

Relaxing: Guests
enjoy drinks and food in this pleasant terrace area
Despite the prison featuring lots of bars,
this place has both kinds – the ones you can’t get past and the ones where
you can get a drink.
After being abandoned for a number of years,
the jail reopened in 2002. But in mid 2007 it closed permanently after which
construction of the hotel began.
Het Arresthuis was also called
'bolletjesbajes' which translates as stuffer's prison.
Accommodation:
Het Arresthuis opened its doors in 1862, as a prison. It closed down for good
in 2007
Pleasant: Unlike
prisoners who were always keen to leave their cells, guests actually pay big
money to spend a night here
Scary: Despite
the cells having a nice makeover, the original doors have been kept in place
Plush: The jail
most certainly did not have a bar like this when it was open
Het Arresthuis is not the only former prison
which has been transformed into a hotel.
After closing in 1996, Oxford Prison was
transformed into a Malmaison hotel.
Another prison which is now a hotel is the
Jailhotel Lowengraben in Lucerne
Built in 1862, it was used as a prison until
1998, before being converted into a hotel.
Welcoming: This
shows one of the entrances to the hotel
Nice touch: The
hotel has been fitted out with luxury design features
Sparkling: The
kitchen facilities are certainly an improvement on those when Het Arresthuis
was a jail
Fun: Its
doubtful that the prisoners who used to stay here looked as happy as these
guests
