Overnachten bij Huis met de Luiken

In the historic and lively city centre of Zutphen stands the Huis met de Luiken – a listed building dating from 1629. In the past, it was home to boatmen and merchants, tinsmiths and ordinary butchers, winemakers and bottlers. Nowadays, it’s a lovely place for a couple to spend the night. An entire floor has been furnished just for you. From the interior design shop on the ground floor, two short flights of stairs – each with 11 steps – lead you up to your own little paradise.

You’ll find a comfortable room with a cosy sitting area, a table for breakfast and a comfortable bed. From every angle, you can look out through a wall-to-wall, Rembrandtesque and truly monumental window, which makes you feel as though you’ve stepped back in time to 1629. Around a cosy hall, you’ll also find a private bathroom with all the trimmings, and a pantry for coffee and tea.

The B&B is available from Wednesday to Sunday. Check-in: from 2.00 pm; check-out by 10.30 am at the latest.

History

The Hanseatic city of Zutphen is the second-oldest city in the Netherlands. Once a city of industry, large markets and trade from the hinterland to the IJssel and beyond, it is now a city with unique shops set in beautiful heritage buildings, historic courtyards, delightful restaurants, pubs and terraces, and a wealth of culture. The narrow, tall ‘Huis met de Luiken’ dates from 1629 and is now a listed building. The house has a rich urban history and a colourful past. In days gone by, it was home to skippers and merchants, tinsmiths and ordinary butchers, winemakers and bottlers. Today, the owners combine the functions of a private residence, a shop and a B&B.
