Located in Stavoren, one of the country's oldest towns, the hotel offers guests eight large oak wine barrels that used to hold between 15,000 and 23,000 litres of wine.
The oak barrels once filled with fine wine are now beautiful residences - they are comfortable rooms with double beds, bathrooms with en-suite bathrooms, in some cases including a small living room with TV, some even with private showers, saunas and whirlpool baths.
Of course, waiting for a bottle of wine in the room can also bring pleasure to guests, and the hotel's on-site restaurant offers a wide range of drinks and food.
This hotel is not the only one to offer a wine theme. In the Mexican town of Tequila, one hotel offers themed accommodation for holidaymakers to sleep in giant wine barrels which were previously filled with tequila. Convenient for those interested in tasting spirits, as the hotel is located close to a tequila distillery.
When the epidemic is over, why not experience a wonderful night out in the barrels for you and your wine, and wonder if sleeping in the barrels will become more flavourful afterwards?
