Best hotels in Hoorn
This shortlist covers the hotels we list in Hoorn, from a 4-star wellness address beside the Westfriese Parkweg to small guesthouses on the Kleine Noord and Breed. It suits couples, families and business travellers picking a base for a short break in the old town.
Staying in Hoorn
Hoorn sits on the Markermeer, and these hotels are spread across its historic centre and the streets around it: Westfriese Parkweg 1, Grote Kerk 36, Kleine Noord 53 55, Visserseiland 100, Kleine Oost 5, Breed 31, Grote Noord 3 and Breed 23. That means a choice between a large hotel with a pool and sauna and small addresses of a handful of rooms, all within the same compact town.
Couples tend to take the smaller 4-star houses such as Heavens Hotel or Petit Nord, families are drawn to the hotels with family rooms and free parking, and business travellers are served by the 24-hour front desks, air conditioning and lifts at Van der Valk Hotel Hoorn and Heavens Hotel. For a short break, the central addresses on Breed and Grote Noord put you in the middle of the old streets, while El Puerto Bed And Breakfast on Visserseiland and De Magneet on Kleine Oost keep things quieter.
