April 2025 - The Rebyl, Nijmegen, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel, is a historic establishment located on the edge of Nijmegen's vibrant city center. The building, originally constructed in 1922 as a girls' school, has been transformed into a modern 4-star hotel while preserving its unique character and history. The Rebyl opened its doors in October last year with Hotel Facility Concepts (HFC) as the strategic partner for their back-of-house services.
