4- and 5-star hotels in and around Utrecht
A shortlist of 4-star and 4.6- to 4.7-rated hotels in and around Utrecht, from Leersum to Abcoude. It is for travellers who want a base outside the city centre, with free parking at nearly every property and room for couples, families and short breaks.
Staying in Utrecht
Utrecht sits at the heart of the Netherlands, a compact city of canals and wharves that is easy to cross on foot or by bike. The hotels on this list do not stand in the old centre itself; their addresses place them in the surrounding towns and villages of Leersum, Vianen, Bussum, Leusden, Mijdrecht, De Bilt, Bunnik, Amsterdam, Abcoude, Lopik, Schoonrewoerd, Woudenberg, Bunschoten and IJsselstein. Each is a 4-star property, and almost all offer free car parking, which makes them practical for travellers arriving by car.
The mix suits different trips. Couples looking for quiet surroundings can choose Parc Broekhuizen in Leersum or Landgoed Huis te Jaarsveld in IJsselstein. Families have family rooms at Hotel Vianen Utrecht, Veld En Bosch in Leusden and Villa Oldenhoff in Abcoude, several with pools or kitchens. Business travellers are served by Van der Valk Hotel de Bilt Utrecht and Postillion Hotel Utrecht Bunnik, both with business centres. For a short break, the high guest ratings of Veld En Bosch (4.7) and Parc Broekhuizen (4.6) stand out.
