The Netherlands Are Turning Empty Prisons Into Unbelievable Luxury Hotels

The Netherlands have been seeing lots of spare property pop up thanks to the huge crime drop off rate in the past few years. So what do they decide to do? They've started to turn their unused prisons into luxury hotels.

The idea first started with the Het Arresthuis, a new luxury hotel located just outside of Amsterdam. Over the past 8 years, the crime rate in the Netherlands has dropped a whopping 25%. The Het Arresthuis hotel, which is Dutch for 'House Arrest,' is located in Roermond and is as glam as could be.

Although the cells still have their original doors, each room is completely unrecognisable. Gourmet food is available to order, flat screen TV's are in every room, as well as Wi-Fi.

If you're feeling fancy, you can even upgrade to one of the hotel's four suites called; The Lawyer, The Director, The Judge and The Jailer. Sure, the place even has a full spa and workout room.

This could be a jail we could get used to.
