    The 4-star Hotel- Paleis Stadhouderlijk Hof situated in the capital of Friesland epitomizes the region's historic grandeur. The building is a former palace and was owned by the Dutch royal family until 1971. Each of the palace's rooms has retained its regal appearance. Enjoy a royal dinner or lunch with the 18th century decor on the background. The hotel's surrounding also offers a range of activities and sights. For instance visit the historic city centre with interesting museums or enjoy the nature in the city park, called the Prinsentuin.

    Part of history
    The hotel is located in a a former royal palace right in the middle of the city. The rooms are modern and rather large for a hotel in a city, while the dining areas have kept their historic look. The staff is truly friendly, going out of their way to ensure that the guests enjoy…

    History and Atmosphere
    Pros: the location, the historical character of the building, the common parts on the ground floor, the width of the room overlooking the garden. Excellent dinner and good breakfast. Staff friendly and helpful. Cons: the room needs to be a bit renovated.

    Nice Restaurant
    I didn’t stay here as a hotel guest, but came here for a reception and dinner as part of a conference. The building is spectacular, being an old royal palace, with a great atmosphere for an informal reception. Dinner was served in a very nice banquet room, and the food and…

    Great location helpful staff
    This hotel is situated in the middle of Leeuwarden, walking distance to all this beautiful city has to offer. Although the hotel is in a beautiful building we were disappointed by the run down condition of the hotel, carpets, paint work and bathrooms all need attention. We had…

    This is not a question, but an experience I had at your beautiful hotel. In 2006, I was photographing a world-wide speaking tour of ministers. When I arrived in Leeuwarden, (Friesland is my ancestral home, the Van Loons and La Fleurs), I was asked to give the speech. As I was speaking, one of the people listening became spiritually opened and she saw over 200 of my royal Orange ancestors standing near me, listening to the speech. I was very surprised and happy when I learn this, especially since your hotel used to be a royal palace. Actually, I do have a question: does the palace have a special name that the royals called the palace? Ken Owens USA
    The genealogy of our Royal family ( van Oranje -Nassau ) is quite complicated. The Netherlands form a Kingdom since 1815. Before 1795 it used to be a republic, since the country became independent from Spain. The stadhouderlijk hof in Leeuwarden has never been used as a Royal Palace, but it was the residence of the stadhouder ( provincial gouvernor ) The first stadhouder van Friesland ( 1584-1620 ) was Willem Lodewijk van Nassau-Dillenburg.
