The Jane, a two-star Michelin restaurant, operates in the former hospital chapel. August Bar provides cocktails and savory bar food in a space with a covered, heated terrace and views of the high-ceiling chapel.

Wellness and Recreation

The wellness area includes a sauna, hammam, ice scrub station, outdoor shower, and seasonal outdoor swimming pond.
