Hotel Leiden

Hotel Leiden, also known as Het Haagsche Schouw, is a historic farmhouse along the Old Rhine River featuring traditional Dutch elements and water views from its terrace. The property has modern meeting facilities, comfortable rooms with balconies, and a restaurant serving regional and international food.

The building started as a farmhouse and was later transformed into a hotel while earning its protected monument status. This shift reflects how the rural economy changed in the region.

The building shows how traditional farmhouses in this region became modern hospitality spaces while keeping their historical forms intact. Visitors can see how old Dutch architecture and contemporary hospitality exist side by side.

The hotel is near Leiden's city center with good access and direct connection to the Rhine River. Guests can use nearby riverside paths and enjoy the closeness to the city's museums and historical sites.

Few former farmhouses in Leiden have kept their protected monument status while becoming business operations. This rarity makes the building a special example of successful change of use without losing heritage value.
