Blue
Design-forward urban boutique with an art-collector sensibility — almost everything on the walls is for sale. Clean lines, high ceilings, and a distinct 'travel light' philosophy. Think cool and considered rather than fussy.

Why It Matters
The bar back wall alone — ~2,000 tiles hand-painted by Portuguese artist Meinke Flesseman — is worth stopping in for. The hotel also distils its own signature gin (Gin by Ivar / Blue Gin), and the ground floor lounge-brasserie-bar runs from morning coffee to late-night cocktails in one continuous space.
Four connected 19th-century townhouses on Nijmegen's Oranjesingel canal boulevard, thoroughly modernised inside by designer Eric de Bruijn. Thirty compact but sharp rooms, a bar whose back wall is covered in roughly 2,000 hand-painted Portuguese tiles, and a brasserie on the ground floor. Sibling property to Restaurant MANNA, which sits a few doors down and specialises in fish and seafood.
Where You'll Stay
3 room types available
Longstay Apartment
One apartment, minimum 5-night stay. Has its own private entrance and patio, a kitchenette, walk-in closet, separate living room and bedroom. King bed, rainfall shower, Illy coffee and Dammann Frères tea. Availability and pricing on request — contact the hotel directly.
KingSmall Double Room
Compact by design, not by accident. These rooms run 12 to 17 sqm and lean hard into smart use of space — high ceilings give them breathing room and the styling is sharp throughout. Queen bed, rainfall shower, Illy coffee machine, Dammann Frères tea. Some have a balcony, but you cannot specifically request one.
Queen · 14.5 sqmStandard Double Room
The step-up option. Running 18 to 24 sqm, these are noticeably more comfortable for two people and about half come with a private balcony. King or queen bed, same sharp fit-out as the small doubles — rainfall shower, Illy coffee machine, high ceilings. Worth the upgrade if you plan to spend any time in the room.
