The Nox Hotel
Lunar-themed luxury boutique. Deep blue palette, high sculpted ceilings, standalone bathtubs, and a strong sustainability ethos. More theatrical than cozy, but the service keeps it warm.

Why It Matters
A Michelin Guide-listed property sharing a building with a Michelin-recognized restaurant (Hemel & Aarde), set in a genuine 17th-century monument that took four years to renovate. Green Key Gold certified and fully gas-free.
The Nox occupies a grand 17th-century monument in the heart of Utrecht — the former Polman's House — and the deep midnight-blue interiors feel about as far from a canal-house B&B as you can get. All 23 rooms follow a lunar theme, and the building also houses Hemel & Aarde, one of the better restaurant in town. The Dom Tower is a four-minute walk away, but Keistraat itself is a quiet side street, so you get center-of-it-all convenience without the noise.
Where You'll Stay
6 room types available
Crescent Moon | Medium Room
Mid-tier rooms running 18–20 m². A step up from New Moon in space and comfort, still in the deep blue color palette. All the standard amenities apply. Good for couples wanting more breathing room without the price of a Full Moon.
19 sqmFull Moon | Large Room
The flagship double rooms at 24–30 m². Spacious enough to actually feel luxurious. Comes with a freestanding bathtub — the place to decompress after a day out. Premium finishes and the same deep-blue, moon-themed design.
King (160 x 210 cm) · 27 sqmFull Moon Family | Large Room
The family configuration of the Full Moon category — accommodates up to four adults. Worth noting one guest review flagged the open bathtub/shower area has only a slatted screen for privacy, which can feel awkward for a family room.
Full Moon Triple | Large Room
Same generous Full Moon category but configured for up to three adults. Good option for a group of friends or a family with older kids who need the third bed.
Honey Moon | Suite
The top room in the house. Third floor, private roof terrace with deck chairs and unobstructed views of the Dom Tower. The suite has a split-level interior design and a standalone bathtub inside the room (not just the bathroom). This is the obvious choice for a special occasion or honeymoon. Booked independently by the hotel for wedding nights.
King (160 x 210 cm)New Moon | Small Room
The smallest rooms at 16 m². Cozy but compact — note there are internal stairs within the room itself, so not great for anyone with mobility concerns. Views over Keistraat or the Jansdam. Full lunar theme in deep blue. Luxurious bathroom with Marie-Stella-Maris products.

The hotel offers tailored wedding night packages with extra services bookable through the hotel website. The Honey Moon Suite on the third floor with its roof terrace and Dom Tower view is the go-to room for this.
