Miss Blanche
Canal-side boutique with classic Dutch architecture and a warm, art-filled interior. The vibe sits between a stylish apartment and a neighborhood local. Named after the iconic cigarette brand 'Miss Blanche', the hotel nods to classic elegance without being stuffy.

Why It Matters
The hotel occupies 11 monumental canal houses dating from the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries — there's no single hotel building. Rooms range from compact 20 m² Cosy Rooms to a 240 m² Royal Suite with a rooftop terrace. The property consistently scores 9.2 on Booking.com and Expedia and 4.7/5 on Google.
Hotel Miss Blanche spreads across 11 restored historic canal houses on the Hoge der A — Groningen's most scenic waterway. Each of the 62 rooms and suites has its own distinct character, furnished with a mix of Indian art, Dutch still-life paintings, and Molton Brown toiletries. Breakfast is served at the affiliated Café de Sigaar, right on the canal.
