Dispersed canal apartments
Accommodations scatter across eleven canal-side buildings, running like self-contained city residences with their own front doors.
What it’s good at
Notable
Restored monumental merchant houses and warehouses along the canal retain original timber beams.
Listed
Historic brickwork and marble sills meet clean contemporary lines across self-contained apartment interiors.
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Miss Blanche's spacious guestrooms are a must for anyone visiting Groningen. They are situated in stately buildings, some of them by the water, and offer a beautiful mixture of classical and modern.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Cobblestone quays line the Hoge der A canal outside, and the open stalls of the Vismarkt sit nearby.
The rooms
Apartments keep exposed wooden beams and brickwork, and the larger suites look out directly over the canal.
The gym
Cardio machines and a Smith machine sit inside the fitness studio, with natural light filtering through shuttered windows.
At the table
Café de Sigaar serves breakfast, seasonal dinners, and drinks along the canal, with tables set on the cobblestone quay.
How it began
The hotel takes its name from Miss Blanche, a vintage 1917 Dutch cigarette brand known for classic elegance.
