City Hotel Nieuw Minerva

A 16th-century canal house located in the heart of the city, City Hotel Nieuw Minerva features individually designed guest rooms, one of which played host to French president, Louis Napoleon. The hotel is just an eight-minute walk from the historic Leiden University.

Guest rooms are styled after such themes as roses, angels, safaris, and noted local residents. The Rembrandt Room features a replica of the artist’s famed box bed. All accommodations include a TV and private shower, while luxury amenities, like four-poster beds and standalone bathtubs, can be found in select rooms.

The hotel reception is open around the clock, with valuable tourist insights on offer. Free Wi-Fi is provided throughout.

Located on site, Victor Russo’s Osteria serves authentic Italian cuisine for lunch and dinner. Guests can also enjoy a traditional breakfast buffet in the morning.

City Hotel Nieuw Minerva is a five-minute walk from the Rijksmuseum, home to a treasure trove of historical artefacts, and under 15 minutes from Leiden Centraal station.
