Hotel Prinsenhof

The discovery of Groningen

Hotel Prinsenhof

In 1436, De Prinsenhof was founded as a monastery for the Brethren of the Common Life. It later became the residence of Stadtholder William Frederick of Nassau-Dietz (1613-1664), a barracks, and a military hospital. Centrally located in the shadow of the Martinitoren, on the romantic Martinikerkhof, Hotel Prinsenhof offers oak parquet floors, the finest bed linens, and Molton Brown toiletries in all rooms. The monastery church with its imposing fireplace is now Brasserie Prinsenhof, featuring a walled terrace in the courtyard. In the former sleeping quarters of Stadtholder William Frederick and his wife Albertine Agnes, you will find Restaurant Nassau, overlooking the Prinsentuin. This Renaissance garden from 1626 includes a rose garden, a herb garden, two romantic bowers, and a monumental sundial.

Dining in royal surroundings

Restaurant Nassau & Brasserie Prinsenhof

Fine dining and lunches by appointment are held in Restaurant Nassau in a monumental suite. Here, you dine in a regal setting under high-beamed ceilings with views of the historic Prinsentuin. Additionally, there is a private dining room. The menu is curated by Chef Christian de Vries. For breakfast, lunch, and dinner, you can also visit Brasserie Prinsenhof, the former Frater Church from the 15th century. Whether it's the quality of the coffee, the service, or the atmosphere, everything is equally grand. The special light, the open atmosphere, and the coziness of this brasserie make you feel at home immediately. The sweet treats for Afternoon and High Tea are homemade. In good weather, you are welcomed on the terrace in the walled courtyard, adjacent to the Martinikerkhof.
