When guests aren’t just here for the apples and blackberries: the Grothues family has transformed the classic Münsterland farm in Senden into modern experience gastronomy It includes a farm café, a pastry shop, a conservatory, a farm bakery, a farm shop and a 4-star hotel. When planning the hotel, architect Eckhardt Scholz followed the design language and materials used for the Baroque style of Westphalian mansions. The combination of red bricks, light sandstone and white divided windows is typical of the region's architectural style that is often referred to as the “Westphalian symphony.” And what else reveals the quality of a hotel? The bathrooms, in the opinion of operator Elmar Grothues. That’s why he opted for our floor-level shower areas, spacious washbasins and free-standing baths in enamelled titanium steel. Not only because natural materials and good design are so important to the Grothues family, but also because they want to offer their guests exquisite quality.
