Kruisherenhotel Maastricht
Historic Gothic meets Dutch modernism. Dramatic ceiling heights, stained glass, original wall and ceiling frescoes — all set against ultra-contemporary furniture. Design-forward and romantic without being stuffy. The contrast is the whole point.
Request a room with stained glass windows — some overlook the cloisters or have original architectural features worth asking for
Why It Matters
Winner of the Dutch Hotel Award 2017 and a long-standing member of Design Hotels, the Kruisherenhotel is one of the boldest adaptive reuse projects in European hospitality. The Gothic church conversion — with its glass elevator, mezzanine restaurant and original frescoes — is genuinely unlike anything else in the Netherlands. Construction of the original cloister began in 1440; the transformation into a hotel commenced in 2000. It's held Conde Nast Traveler recognition and a Gault Millau listing for Spencer's restaurant.
A 15th-century Gothic monastery and church in the middle of Maastricht's old town, converted into one of the Netherlands' most architecturally dramatic hotels. The nave of the original church is now the hotel lobby, bar and reception, with a glass elevator connecting it to the mezzanine restaurant floating inside the gothic chancel. The 60 rooms are spread across three structures: the original monastery, a contemporary wing called Casa Nova, and the Gatekeeper's Residence. Interiors by Henk Vos, furnished with pieces by Le Corbusier, Ingo Maurer and Philip Starck. Serious design hotel territory, and the only five-star property in the Maastricht region.
Where You'll Stay
5 room types available
Deluxe Room
A step up in size and finish from the Superior. Positioned across Casa Nova, the Gatekeeper's Residence and the ancient monastery, each Deluxe Room has custom interior design making every room slightly different from the last. Same amenity package as Superior: Auping bed, Nespresso, minibar, smart TV, robes and slippers.
King
Junior Suite
Open-plan living within the former monastery walls. Exceptionally spacious with original architectural features intact — think thick stone walls, unusual window shapes, and the quiet weight of 500 years of history. An additional bed can be added to accommodate a third guest.
King
Kruisherensuite
The top of the range. At 65m², this is the hotel's largest accommodation, set inside the ancient monastery. Custom-made Auping bed, a full en-suite bathroom with whirlpool bath and double rainfall shower, seating area, and all the same design furnishings as the rest of the hotel — just with more room to appreciate them. Can accommodate up to 3 guests with an extra bed or crib added on request.
King · 65 sqm
Signature Room
Generously proportioned with an added seating area — a meaningful upgrade over the Deluxe. Found in the contemporary Casa Nova, the original monastery or the Gatekeeper's Residence. The seating area makes these rooms genuinely comfortable for more than one night.
King
Superior Room
The entry-level option, and compact is the operative word. Located across the original monastery, Casa Nova and Gatekeeper's Residence, each room has clever design that makes the most of the floorplan. Individually furnished with Auping king-size beds, Nespresso machine, minibar, smart TV and premium bath amenities. Some rooms in the monastery sit under the rafters with architecturally unusual windows.
