Good news: there are more and more special stores and fine restaurants in the city center. Nice for Dordrechters, but also for tourists. More and more people are discovering that Dordrecht is definitely worth a visit. And that one day is actually too little for that. Fortunately, there is the brand new Stadshotel Steegoversloot and the attractive B&B Belle Chambre in the Gravenstraat, with restaurants, stores, culture and sights within walking distance.
It feels like a dream come true
Art deco with modern luxury
Belle Chambre is spacious and stylishly decorated with a mix of art deco and art nouveau. Owner Sjoerd Kessels wants to offer a place where it is pleasant to come back to after a day in the city center or Biesbosch. Beautiful, befitting the stately building from 1709, but with all modern conveniences. Among other things, the B&B has an independent entrance with pin code, luxury shower, sound center and even a scent machine so it always smells fresh. Although the B&B has only just opened, the bookings for the summer and the positive reactions are already pouring in to owner Sjoerd Kessels.
"Guests are pleasantly surprised by the B&B with its authentic details, but also by Dordrecht. Many people do not know that there are so many historical sights, nice stores and restaurants here. As a B&B we also offer breakfast of course, but our guests almost never book it and they are right. Around the corner you have Coffeelicious and the Scheffersplein. What more could you want?"
Monumental accommodation in the heart of the city
The Stadshotel at Steegoversloot 56 brings together everything that couple Annemieke and Remco van Helden are good at and find important. Hospitality, personal attention, quality and there is room for the store, lunchroom and bakery of Christa's (formerly Christa's Cookies) of which Annemieke has been the owner for five years. The hotel has twelve contemporary rooms, each with its own character, modern but fitting with the 1670 national monument. The young entrepreneurial couple is obviously very much looking forward to it.
Remco: "It feels like a dream come true. We really don't need to be in the Lonely Planet, but it would be great if we find ourselves back in little travel books as a hidden gem."
