WHERE TWO DISTINCT CHARACTERS BRING THE CITY TO LIFE
Boutique Hotels MANNA & Blue
Located on Nijmegen’s elegant Oranjesingel, just a short walk from the historic city center, Boutique Hotels MANNA & Blue offer two unique hotel experiences under one shared philosophy. Not defined by size, but by character, personality, and genuine hospitality. MANNA is housed in a landmark building dating back to 1896, where historic grandeur meets contemporary design. High ceilings, large windows, and carefully curated interiors give each of the eight luxurious suites and two spacious studios its own identity. Here, you enjoy space, comfort, and sophistication in a boutique setting that feels both exclusive and welcoming. Right next door, Hotel Blue offers a more urban and energetic experience. Its thirty contemporary city rooms provide the perfect base for exploring Nijmegen, whether you're drawn to its rich history, vibrant cultural scene, or lively cafés and boutiques. Modern, accessible, and effortlessly comfortable, Blue reflects the dynamic spirit of the city itself. Together, MANNA & Blue create a destination where hospitality is felt rather than displayed. It lives in the details, in the personal attention, and in the atmosphere that makes you feel at home from the moment you arrive. It is this combination of character, design, and genuine warmth that has made Boutique Hotels MANNA & Blue one of Nijmegen’s most distinctive addresses.
A DEEP LOVE FOR SEAFOOD, AND SO MUCH MORE
RESTAURANT MANNA
Restaurant MANNA is far more than the hotel’s restaurant. It is a culinary destination in its own right, beloved by both hotel guests and locals who know exactly where to go for an exceptional lunch or dinner. Under the leadership of Chef Jay Yskes, MANNA has established itself as the number one seafood restaurant in Nijmegen and the surrounding region, while maintaining the same passion for premium meats and creative vegetarian cuisine. The kitchen draws inspiration from flavors from around the world, yet remains firmly rooted in quality, seasonality, and craftsmanship. The menu brings together refinement and familiarity, offering everything from sashimi, ceviche, and seafood tastings to beautifully prepared fish dishes, premium cuts of meat, and inventive vegetarian creations. Guests looking to be surprised can choose the Chef’s Choice Menu, a culinary journey showcasing the signature style of the kitchen. At the heart of the restaurant is the impressive Seafood Bar. Here, fresh fish, lobster, crab, oysters, scallops, and shellfish arrive daily from the fish auction and are presented with pride. Guests can make their own selection or rely on the expertise of the team, who know exactly how to bring out the very best in each catch. Signature experiences such as the Seafood Lunch, Catch The Ten, and the lavish Fruits de Mer platters have made MANNA a true paradise for seafood lovers. The atmosphere is equally important. Stylish and vibrant, yet never overly formal. Whether you are joining for a leisurely lunch, an intimate dinner, a business gathering, or a celebratory evening with friends, MANNA effortlessly combines culinary excellence with award-winning hospitality. It is no surprise that the restaurant has repeatedly been recognized as one of the most hospitable dining destinations in the Netherlands. Here, it is not only about what is served on the plate, but about the feeling you take home afterwards.
BETWEEN DAYLIGHT AND NIGHTFALL
Bar Blue
Bar Blue is the cocktail bar of Hotel Blue, yet it feels like a destination of its own. Inspired by the phenomenon of the blue hour - that magical moment when the city slowly changes color and the evening still holds endless possibilities - the bar has become a favorite meeting place for both hotel guests and locals. From the first cappuccino of the morning to the final cocktail of the night, craftsmanship is at the heart of everything. Signature cocktails are carefully prepared, bringing together flavors and influences from around the world. The thoughtfully curated wine list offers something special for every occasion. The atmosphere is contemporary, relaxed, and effortlessly inviting. Whether you stop by after a day exploring Nijmegen, meet friends for drinks, or begin an evening out in the city, Bar Blue adapts naturally to the moment. No two evenings are quite the same. Some end after a single cocktail. Others continue long after the city lights have come on.
