Dutch cosiness in a modern jacket!

Driving into Woerden, we are again struck by how surprising it is. In the Green Heart, close to Utrecht, lies this pretty fortified town, traditionally the farmers' market town for farmers and country people. We walk towards the square where the old Arsenal in a 1762 national monument houses Van Rossum Stadshotel, Café and Restaurant.

At this very atmospheric boutique hotel, generous hospitality is the watchword. And you notice it in everything. A hotel that also operates in a socially responsible way and has been certified for this by various organisations. The spacious rooms and suites with comfortable Auping beds are just as striking. The red executive suite, lovely, often booked as a bridal suite for good reason. Also fine, cosy and intimate, in many rooms, the bath just in the room. And the robust oak beams complete the picture.

Van Rossum café and restaurant is 'the place to be' for miles around. Woerden originally has a close relationship with the surrounding Green Heart of Holland. This natural connection lies at the basis of their cuisine: 'Products from the polder, then you know what you are eating' and 'what you get from nearby is just as tasty'. For everyone who loves conviviality, pure regional products and surprising delicacies. The outdoor terrace is right on the lively square.

Besides eating, drinking and sleeping at Van Rossum you can also hold meetings in the meeting house. Here you have your own kitchen with a well stocked fridge and a spacious roof terrace, which can also be used as a break-out area. Be inspired or contact Listed for a tailor-made request to van Rossum Stadshotel.

Outside the hotel, fortified town Woerden is the perfect base for diving into the nature of the Green Heart. You can enjoy plenty of walking and cycling, as well as boating. Hire a sloop or a canoe and explore one of the Roman Limes routes or sail to Utrecht or the Nieuwkoop lakes, for example. And if you want to experience some real Dutch culture, the Cheese Experience in the Kaaspakhuis, where you can find out everything about the process from cow to cheese, is the place to be. In short, be surprised by Woerden and its surroundings and come home to Van Rossum Stadshotel!
