Hotels in Zuid Limburg, NL
Zuid-Limburg is a region of scenic countryside in the far south of The Netherlands, hemmed in by Belgium to the south and west, and Germany to the east. The city of Maastricht, located on Zuid-Limburg's western edge, is home to a buzzing cultural life, an international airport and an 18-hole golf course. The towns of Gulpen and Vaals, located in Zuid-Limburg's center and east, respectively, boast easy access to the countryside and three additional championship courses. Travelers will find excellent accommodations options in all three locations.

Hotel Derlon

The Derlon boasts an enviable location on Maastricht's Onze Lieve Vrouwe square, home to a medieval Romanesque church and surrounded by some of the city's best shopping. The guest rooms feature contemporary furnishings, pastel-colored walls and hardwood floors, and include amenities such as a mini-bar, air conditioning, CD player and free Wi-Fi. Guests planning an extended stay could consider booking the Derlon's one-bedroom apartment, which has its own kitchen and living room. The on-site Restaurant Zes offers lunches and two- and three-course dinners, while the Jean Pierre Patisserie specializes in pastries, coffee and fine wines. A basement museum displays Roman artifacts discovered beneath the hotel--which was built on the ruins of Maastricht's Roman forum. Three miles west of the hotel, the Golfclub Maastricht offers a par-72 championship course.

Hotel Gulpen

This brick-built hotel is located in downtown Gulpen, a town set in a picturesque valley at the confluence of the Geul and Gulp rivers. It offers convenient access to the championship courses at the De Zuid Limburgse Golf Club, four-and-a-half mile south, and the Mergelhof Golf Course, eight-and-a-half miles south in Belgium. The 40 stylish guest rooms and suites are outfitted with furniture from Oudenteak, an organization working to improve the economic and living conditions of small furniture makers. All rooms include flat-screen TV and free Wi-Fi, and the suites come with Javanese canopy beds. Hotel Gulpen's restaurant, Entre Nous, offers fine dining, and the hotel lounge boasts a fireplace that makes for a great place for a before- or after-dinner drink. The Hotel Gulpen offers packages that combine accommodations, meals, and treatments at either of two nearby spas.

Bilderberg Kasteel Vaalsbroek

The Bilderberg Kasteel Vaalsbroek hotel is set in a 15th-century castle on the western outskirts of Vaals. This is the most "mountainous" area of The Netherlands--nearby Mt. Valls is the nation's highest peak at just over 1,000 feet--and many of the castle's 130 guest rooms boast panoramic views of the hilly landscape. In-room amenities include a mini-bar, Wi-Fi and tea- and coffee-making facilities. The hotel's In de Oude Watermolen serves up regional favorites, and guests can sign up for a package that combines breakfast and dinner in the price of a stay. Light fare and drinks are served at the on-site pub. For leisure and recreation, head to the wellness center, which offers a variety of spa treatments, including facials, sea salt body scrubs, and hot rock massages. Other facilities at the wellness center include an indoor swimming pool, sauna and whirlpool bath. As for golf, the closest course is the Aachener Golf Club, four miles away in Aachener, Germany. The Mergelhof course is four-and-a-half miles southwest, and De Zuid Limburgse is seven-and-a-half miles northwest.
