What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Housed in five listed buildings, the Hotel Nassau is dotted with playful photos of nuns and other religious elements which recall the history of the site.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The front doors open onto fourteenth-century Nieuwstraat, just around the corner from Breda Castle and the Grote Markt.
The rooms
Rooms in the historic monuments have unique layouts, where crisp modern furniture sits against exposed centuries-old brick.
Restaurant
Bar Belle
The dining room looks toward the historic chapel, serving shared Basque plates and French classics.
At the table
Drinks are poured at the cocktail bar, and private dinners gather in a salon with a fireplace.
How it began
Franciscan nuns combined three noble townhouses into an orphanage in the nineteenth century, later adding the Neo-Gothic chapel.
