Christmas in Maastricht: three hotels for a cosy winter weekend.

From 27 November to 27 December, Maastricht is brimming with Christmas spirit. The historic city centre is festively lit, the squares are filled with winter cheer, and there’s something to discover everywhere. A wonderful opportunity to combine your Christmas shopping with a sumptuous dinner and a relaxing overnight stay. Whether you want to stay right in the heart of the bustling city centre or prefer to seek out some peace and quiet, these three hotels will make your Christmas weekend in Maastricht complete.

Hotel Maison Maastricht Centre – Handwritten Collection

This unique boutique hotel is situated in the historic centre of Maastricht, on a site that welcomed distinguished guests as far back as the nineteenth century and later housed a hotel school. That rich history comes to life today in a hotel where fine dining and personalised hospitality take centre stage. Guests can, for example, take a masterclass in patisserie or chocolate-making in the hotel’s own workshop: a delicious way to get ready for the festive season. They can also enjoy exceptional wines and cocktails at Bar Coley’s, as well as regional cheeses from the hotel’s own cheese cellar. Breakfast, too, showcases local produce. From the hotel, guests can walk to the Vrijthof and the festively illuminated city centre in under ten minutes.

After an afternoon full of wintery experiences, guests can take a seat at Winners restaurant or round off the evening with a drink at Bar@Novotel. This way, you can combine Maastricht’s Christmas atmosphere with the tranquillity of staying just outside the city centre.
