Fletcher Hotel-Paleis Stadhouderlijk Hof  

In the heart of Leeuwarden, a 4‑star palace‑turned‑hotel sits right in the city center. You’re steps from Boomsma Beerenburg Distillery, the Fries Natuurmuseum, Waagplein, Grote Kerk and the Prinsentuin. Family‑friendly and ideal for walking to shops, museums and parks.

Housed in an 18th‑century former royal palace, the property keeps a regal appearance with period decor. The small collection of about 28 guestrooms pairs stately style with modern basics like TVs, hairdryers and complimentary toiletries. A sunlit conservatory overlooks a courtyard garden and cozy terrace — a quiet spot for morning coffee or an evening drink.

Standouts include an on‑site restaurant, a bar, a conservatory and the courtyard terrace. Rent bicycles, book excursions at the tour desk or use the BBQ area. Practical perks: complimentary Wi‑Fi, on‑site parking (charges apply), laundry/dry cleaning, elevator and playrooms for kids.

Conference space, meeting rooms and a business center make events easy. Complimentary wireless internet and concierge services support meetings and small functions.

Dine in an atmospheric, 18th‑century setting for lunch or dinner, or grab drinks at the bar. Buffet breakfast is served daily from 7–10 AM for a fee, and limited room service is available.
