Midnight society house
The property reclaims an 1865 gentlemen's club as an intimate stay, built entirely around the Latin word for night.
“The 17th-century building has been transformed into a contemporary hideaway, with comfortable modern rooms and suites equipped with luxe fittings and products.”
What it’s good at
Notable
Midnight-blue bedroom interiors designed by Studio Linse around the Latin word for night.

What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler and AFAR.
This majestic looking building in the center of Utrecht may have its roots in the 17th century, but the interior and the atmosphere are decidedly 21st century.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Cobblestoned Keistraat is remarkably quiet, with the fourteenth-century Dom Tower standing just a short stroll away.
The rooms
Bedrooms are saturated in deep midnight blue, and the honeymoon suite opens onto a private rooftop terrace.
Restaurant
Hemel & Aarde
Chef Rene van der Weijden serves seasonal courses beneath intricate historic plasterwork and polished mirrored partitions.
A short stroll from Domtoren but tucked away on a quiet side street, this 23-room hotel blends modern with grand: Think hip globe lights in a 17th-century building.
How it began
The seventeenth-century property once housed the gentlemen's society De Vriendschap, followed by decades as the grand café Het Polman's Huis.
