THE RING ROAD
Walk outside and you will soon reach the Oudegracht, which has been the main artery of the city for centuries. In the canal-side cellars, you will find many hidden hotspots. Discover all the beauty of the city also from the water. Especially now that for a number of years the Utrecht canal has been restored to its former glory and it is once again possible to make a full circle around the city, it is very nice to go out on the water on your own. Don't miss a visit to the famous Dom Tower. The city's icon towers high above the center. With venues such as the Tivoli Vredenburg music center, Centraal Museum, Museum Catharijneconvent, the Railway Museum, and the Miffy museum, there are often concerts and exhibitions to visit. Utrecht also regularly hosts music and food truck festivals.
NEW LUXURY SUITES
After a wonderful day out, spend the night at Hotel Breukelen in one of the 236 comfortable rooms or luxury suites. All rooms have recently been renovated, and some now feature a modern open bathroom. Or choose something truly special and book a brand-new suite with many extras, such as an XL whirlpool bath, double rain shower, or infrared sauna. These spacious suites are themed after world cities, with the atmosphere of the city reflected in the interior for an extra special experience. The Paris Suite features classic French style, the Ibiza Suite has the sunny atmosphere of the island, the Marrakech Suite has an oriental style, and the New York Suite has a trendy loft atmosphere. The latter is very suitable for families, with a double walk-in shower and an extra-low sink for the little ones. The suite also has two bunk beds with their own television. You can also relax in the wellness center with sauna, steam room, relaxation room, and heated indoor pool. The hotel also has a small fitness center.
LATE NIGHT SNACK

Hotel Breukelen is popular among visitors to events at the Jaarbeurs and Ziggo Dome, as well as matches at the Johan Cruijff Arena.

You can also heat up a pizza yourself here as a nice late-night snack after a concert or football match. From Hotel Breukelen, you can go in any direction. To the city of Utrecht and events in the area, but also the beautiful province of Utrecht is worth exploring.
