The Market Hotel Groningen - hotel exterior and Martini Tower on the Grote Markt

The Market Hotel Groningen, by WestCord, is a four-star superior hotel set right on the Grote Markt in the heart of Groningen's historic city centre, with the Martini Tower, the Forum Groningen and the city's lively network of markets, streets and courtyards all on its doorstep.

The hotel offers 123 contemporary guest rooms and suites, ranging from Comfort and Superior rooms to Deluxe rooms and the signature WOW Suite, each finished in a warm, natural style with generous bathrooms, making it a well-placed base for corporate groups, incentive travel and city-centre events.

At ground level the hotel opens into Cafe Willem Albert, presented as the city's living room, a relaxed cafe-restaurant with its own terrace that is complemented by the artisan Bakkerij Westers and a seasonal High Tea, while WellCome Wellness adds a fitness area and spa facilities for guests looking to unwind.

Groningen sits in the north of the Netherlands, approximately 195 kilometres by road from Amsterdam Schiphol Airport, and The Market Hotel is about a twelve-minute walk from Groningen's main railway station, with parking available in the Forum garage directly beside the hotel.

The Market Hotel Groningen - guest room with bed and lounge seating

For meetings and events, The Market Hotel Groningen offers five flexible meeting and event spaces in the centre of the city, suited to everything from board meetings and training days to presentations, private dinners and celebrations.

The Hereplein room is the largest, spanning two floors, while the Grote Markt room seats up to 40 guests in theatre style and combines with the adjoining Nieuwe Markt room to seat around 60 in theatre style; a dedicated Private Dining room welcomes up to 30 guests for celebrations and special occasions.

For larger gatherings, receptions and festive events, Cafe Willem Albert on the ground floor can host up to 250 guests, and the hotel's central team can combine meeting space, catering, overnight accommodation and the hotel's wellness facilities into a single programme.

With its location on the Grote Markt, a short walk from Groningen's main station and direct access to the Forum parking garage, The Market Hotel is a practical and characterful choice for corporate meetings, incentive groups and events in the north of the Netherlands.
