Staying in Utrecht

Utrecht is a compact, walkable Dutch city built around canal wharves, where the Oudegracht's lower quays have become streets of cafés and shops. The historic centre is small enough to cross on foot, with the Dom tower and museum quarter at its heart. Most of the hotels here sit in that centre or just outside it, along Keistraat, Wijde Begijnestraat, Achter Sint Pieter, Smakkelaarshoek, Steenweg, Domstraat, Vredenburg, Oudegracht, Hekelsteeg, Maliestraat and Korte Minrebroederstraat.

Others sit further out: Van der Valk on Winthontlaan, Carlton President on Floraweg, Hotel Mitland on Arienslaan, Buitenplaats de Bergse Bossen on Traaij, NH Utrecht and Park Plaza on Jaarbeursplein and Westplein, The Anthony on Kanaalstraat, and several apartments on Croeselaan, Wittevrouwensingel and Plompetorengracht. This spread suits several needs: couples wanting canal-side charm, families needing room to spread out, business guests near the Jaarbeurs, and short-break visitors who want everything within walking distance.
