Utrecht is the perfect place for your Christmas shopping. The city is filled with unique boutiques and eye-catching concept stores. Visit gift shop Keck & Lisa for a real eye-catcher under the tree, or head to Puha for design items with a special story - two addresses you don't want to miss.
On 15 December, the Swan Market returns to Vredenburg, where creative entrepreneurs present their handmade pieces in a wintery setting. And for those who are still not done shopping: the Hoog Catharijne shopping centre is just around the corner, with everything you are looking for within reach.
Walking through historic and illuminated Utrecht is something you don't want to miss. There are plenty of routes you can walk during the darkest hours to experience the magic of the night, such as Kleur de Stad and Utrecht Lumen.
Also, during the Luminous Nights, Kasteel de Haar transforms into a light spectacle from 20 December to 5 January in which you walk past impressive light installations and projections on the castle walls.
Enter a world of design, luxury and top-notch service. Our rooms, named after the different phases of the moon, each carry their own mysterious charm and unique design. Are you ready to end 2024 in style or welcome 2025 festively with a night under our stars?
“Mother Goose is such a nice hotel in the middle of Utrecht. Everything is easily reachable within few minutes. It was not my first stay in this hotel but I wanted to enjoy again the great atmosphere and the individually decorated rooms. The staff is very helpful and always shoes a mood. Although the parking which is related to the hotel was full, other parking spots can be found in a short walking distance. You can drive up to the hotel and leave the luggage before finding the parking.”

“The friendliest team welcomes you to this charming and inviting boutique hotel. The room was gorgeous, toiletries amazing, hospitality second to none. The view was spectacular and, although right above all the buzzy terraces on the square below, pretty sound-proof! Earplugs are available for the sensitive sleeper. The breakfast in bed option was charming. Highly recommend.”

“Wonderful hotel in the middle of the historical center of the city but away from the rowdy-noisy student night life spots. All entertainment at walking distance. Rooms are ample and well appointed - the beds are super comfy. We have been coming here for a few years now and will be back on every future visit to Utrecht.”

“We had suite 103. It was very large, clean, and cute. It had wonderful, high windows with a great view of the square. This was our favorite hotel of our entire Netherland vacation. Stay here! You will not regret it.”

“I'm usually very lazy about writing reviews - I often mean to do it, but then just don't bother. However, I feel I really had to review this hotel, as it is just so outstandingly good. The decor throughout the hotel was beautiful (I felt like a millionaire staying there), the room had a really cosy feel, the bed was super comfortable, and the staff were as friendly as could be, and couldn't do enough to help me. I was left with the impression of a hotel whose staff were going all-out to make it the best hotel it could be. If I'm ever staying in Utrecht again, this is the first place I'll look for.”
