Next to the famed Jerusalem Chapel, this 16th-century orphanage is now home to 25 intimate, atypical and fairly eccentric suites. With elegant original details and a wink to the 21st century, Weeshuis Gouda celebrates the discrete charm of this city nestled in the country’s “Green Heart” and in easy reach of The Hague, Rotterdam and Utrecht. Carefully conceived to underscore the city’s rich heritage, it is not only the old and authentic that you will find at this design hotel. A voyage through the ages, it blends beautifully with the soul of Gouda’s historic district — its maze of narrow streets, bridges and canals, its fascinating museum, its cheesemakers and its sweet aroma of hot syrup and waffles in the air. Delighting your senses with world-class dining, chef Remco Kuijpers’ fresh creations and focus on local ingredients add the final touch to your stay at this magical place.

The Netherlands, via its tulips and canals

Can photographs ever really be a substitute for experiencing something firsthand? You have to travel to the southern Netherlands to truly capture the splendor of its tulip fields or the majesty of its windmills, and to encounter the authentic taste of Gouda cheese. As beautiful as they may be, photos can never really capture the emotions experienced on a bike ride along its towpaths or during a paddleboarding trip on a centuries-old canal. Rotterdam offers an ideal real-world introduction to these picture-postcard Dutch settings.

Fascination for Plateel at the Weeshuis in Gouda

The hotel's team invites you to discover Plateel, plaster molds designed to make decorative pottery. Hand-painted with gloss and matte glazes, they first appeared some time around the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. Reflecting the spirit of Gouda, this delightful Dutch city, they are also emblematic of the hotel. Along with the wonderfully inspiring natural light that graces the Weeshuis Gouda building, Plateel is a key element used in the graphic and interior design of the premises, which aims to reinterpret colors and motifs in a contemporary manner. During this engaging journey of discovery, you'll be left fascinated by the floral-themed paintings and designs, the expressive use of color, and the many other aesthetically beautiful objects interspersed throughout this enchanting hotel. The experience wouldn't be complete, however, without a visit to the workshop of Trudy Otterspeer, which is located just a few steps from the hotel. She will be delighted to show you her traditionally painted artwork. Thanks to her, the Plateel style, designs, and motif were placed on the Intangible Cultural Heritage list in accordance with the UNESCO treaty in 2014.
