What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Four stately townhouses form the location of this stunning hotel. The interior is modern and smart, without detracting from the historical character of the building.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Tree-lined Oranjesingel leads straight toward Keizer Karelplein, with the historic ruins of Valkhof park just a short walk away.
The rooms
Blue holds smart city bedrooms across the townhouses, while MANNA offers spacious suites with deep soaking tubs.
At the table
Restaurant MANNA sets out platters of fresh seafood, and breakfast pastries line the counter of an open kitchen.
How it began
The four townhouses served as offices for decades, while sister property MANNA was once a neighborhood church.
