Very nice and "venerable" hotel but also a bit "old fashioned". Great rooms, even better restaurants and breakfast! Restaurant prices in the Michelin -> $$$$. The location is great, right on the edge of the center.

The former palace, now the hotel, exudes a leisurely atmosphere from the inside out. The hotel is located in the old town of Utrecht. It is very convenient to go everywhere. There are ample parking spaces. It is worth staying and experiencing.
