Where to stay in Breda
Although Breda is quite large, the best places in Breda are all concentrated in the historic city center. The old center is bordered by the water of the Oude Mark river, the streets Oude Vest and Vlaszak and on the north side the Castle of Breda and city park Valkenberg. Within that circle, the famous sights of Breda are concentrated with the market square as the central point.
When looking for a place to stay in Breda, the historic city center is the best choice. All sights, restaurants and shops are within walking distance of the hotels in the old town. But the district south of the center called Ginneken is also one of our favorite places to visit in Breda. The area starts at the Van Coothplein on the south side of the old town, where the Nieuwe Ginnekenstraat and Wilhelminastraat run towards the Ginneken district. Along those streets and in Ginneken, many of the best Breda hotspots, coffee bars and concept stores are located. It is one of the hidden gems of Breda. Unfortunately, there are no hotels in the Ginneken we can recommend. But we do have a great hotel option at the Van Coothplein and a charming forest hotel within walking distance of the Ginneken.
The 8 best places to stay in Breda
Where to stay in the old town of Breda
#1 Hotel Nassau Breda
The Hotel Nassau Breda – Autograph Collection by Marriott is located in the heart of Breda, so within walking distance of the city’s tourist attractions. The hotel is located in a complex of national monuments in one of the oldest streets of the city. There used to be three mansions at this location that were later used as a Catholic orphanage and a monastery, supplemented by a neo-Gothic chapel. All internal walls were removed during this time, creating a maze of corridors and rooms inside. From the outside, it still looks like three different monuments. Hotel Nassau Breda was opened here in 2016 after three years of restoration.
The new hotel still has many references to its ancient history. The vaulted ceiling of the old church has been preserved and the breakfast room is now located there. So guests can have their breakfast while enjoying the view of the chapel and the stained glass windows. The hotel offers beautiful luxury rooms and suites with soft box-spring beds and a modern interior. Restaurant Liefdesgesticht is one of the most popular restaurants in Breda and is part of the hotel. It is open for non-hotel guests as well.
