What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Hotel Monastère Maastricht is a particularly memorable example: not just any old monastery but a 14th-century one, restored in a way that’s sensitive to its history.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The Markt sits five minutes south on foot, leading directly into the historic city centre.
The rooms
Selected rooms keep their restored nineteenth-century chimney mantels. Contemporary colors and clean lines define the rest.
How it began
Ceramics industrialist Petrus Regout bought the medieval abbey refuge in 1851, transforming it into Parisian-style apartments for his factory managers.
