Hotel Schimmelpenninck Huys Groningen

Hotel Schimmelpenninck Huys has a rich history that dates back to the 12th century. The hotel is listed as one of the ten most important historic monuments of the city and owes its name to [i]Rutger Jan Schimmelpenninck[/i], the Grand Pensionary of the Batavian Republic. In the [i]Barokzaal [/i](Baroque Room) the portraits of four politicians, of whom Schimmelpenninck is one, grace the uniquely decorated ceiling. In the hotel lounge you can relax in one of the wonderful armchairs or sofas. This area is gorgeously decorated in [i]Art Nouveau [/i]style. On nice days you can spend the afternoon or evening in the lovely French courtyard, and on rainy days the sunroom will offer you a beautiful view of the garden.
