Bossche Suites Hotel - A Lovely Suite in Historic 's-Hertogenbosch

On this trip, we stayed in a few particularly beautiful, unique and very special hotels and we simply can’t wait to tell you about them!  You will definitely find them permanently filed on our “Hotels We Love” web-page!  On this fab hotel list is Bossche Suites in the charming historic city of 's-Hertogenbosch, Netherlands.

Historic ‘s-Hertogenbosch in the North Brabant area of the Netherlands was established as a city by the Duke of Brabant as early as the 12th century and the city name actually means “The Dukes Forest”.  It was also the home of one of the most famous Northern Renaissance painters, Hieronymus Bosch.

The lovely Bossche Suites Hotel, turned out to be a wonderful choice for our stay in ‘s-Hertogenbosch, especially if you want to feel like a local in your own lovely modern European suite.  By the time we left two days later, it already felt like home to us and we hated to leave!  We have never been welcomed so warmly and hotel owner, Mr. Rens den Otter, and hotel manager Ms. Monique Nieuwenhuijsen, made sure we were comfortable and well taken care of.

The hotel is a new boutique hotel that has only been open since December of 2012 and is located in a historic town-house completely renovated under the direction of Mr. den Otter.  It has just four suites, which reinforces the feel of having your own European apartment.

The suite itself was beautifully decorated with a contemporary stylish lounge area and tall windows overlooked a nice quiet street.  As we ate our excellent breakfast in our suite each morning, bright sunlight poured in along with fresh breezes through the window we had opened.

The bed was exceedingly comfortable with crisp white sheets, perfectly situated for watching the flat-screen TV, and the bathroom was super modern and sparkling clean with the toilet area in a separate room.  Overall, the suite felt large, bright and spacious which created a nice relaxing atmosphere.

I will admit, I particularly fell in love with the in-room espresso machine and drank more coffee than I normally would just because it was so deliciously available!  The room also offered free Wi-Fi and a docking station for your i-pod. 

Adding to the special feeling of this hotel, we were introduced to the “maxi-bar”, a full-sized stainless fridge filled not only with the offerings usually found in a “mini-bar”, but also extras like full size bottles of wine.  We found this charming and definitely found our way back to it during our stay to pick up wine and Cokes!

There were so many interesting things to see in historic ‘s-Hertogenbosch, and we will cover those in our full article about the beautiful historic town, but the absolute highlight of our stay was the private tour we were so fortunate to experience and was thoughtfully provided by  hotel owner Mr. Rens den Otter. 

Rens picked us up in his vintage 1965 Austin Mini Moke and gave us a tour through the eyes of a local resident who loves his home of more than 58 years and which presented us a fun and fascinating introduction to lovely historic “Den Bosch” as the locals call it.  

Needless to say, it is the friendly, personal attention that is the hallmark of Bossche Suites and makes this hotel a stand-out place to stay.   The hotel property is perfectly located within easy walking distance of all the historic sites, museums, shops, cafes, restaurants and the large Market Square, while being nestled on a quiet side street. 

We couldn’t recommend this boutique hotel more highly and thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Bossche Suites!
