Hotel description
Breakfast in the refectory, the former dining room, or a walk through the long corridors of the cloister allows guests to experience the charm of the past. The 48 luxurious rooms and suites, however, still offer contemporary comfort at the highest level: the free Wi-Fi, king-size beds and spacious bathrooms with rain showers all ensure a pleasant stay. The attentive and friendly personnel is committed to the well-being of their guests and always has an open ear for their wishes.
City Hotel: Quiet location in the heart of Sittard, rooms overlooking the old city
Located in the heart of the cloister of Sittard, Merici is located in a historic, quiet environment. It is one of seven extensively restored monastery buildings in the town of Limburg and was recognised as the „best hotel of the area“ with an award in 2012. Less than 100 metres away from the historic market square and transport links, the estate features a peaceful hotel garden. From the rooms you can enjoy magnificent views of the old town. Just a short walk from the hotel are the shops, restaurants and bars of Sittard. If you want to explore the town of Limburg and its surroundings by bicycle or moped, you can rent one from the hotel. Parking is available in the hotel’s own underground garage.
4 Star Hotel: Modern comforts behind monastic walls, individual room design
Through the spacious grounds of the former Ursuline cloister, Merici offers enough space for personal reflection and relaxation. The combination of the historic brick facade and contemporary, elegant interior provides a cosy atmosphere. Each of the 48 rooms is designed and furnished with individually chosen colour schemes. Sometimes cool shades of blue and grey are paired with strong dark browns for a majestic room design, whereas other times warm, subtle tones create a sense of peace and harmony. All rooms and suites are equipped with air conditioning, design lighting, LED TV and Nespresso coffee machines. A stylish lounge bar with a terrace overlooking the quiet backyard invites guests to enjoy a snack or a cup of coffee.
Romantic Hotel: Historic charm, luxurious honeymoon suite and romantic arrangements
Hotel Merici combines the historic charm of the old monastery with modern amenities in an extraordinary way. In the morning guests can start their day with the wake-up call of the church bells and soak in the unique ambiance of the hotel by walking down the long hallways or strolling through the idyllic hotel garden. With its exclusive interiors, the 48 rooms and suites provide all the amenities one could need for a relaxing stay. Decorated in strong red tones, the luxurious honeymoon suite offers a dreamy ambience with its four-poster bed, a free-standing bathtub and the red carpet that leads directly from the door to the bed. The attentive, always discreet staff will gladly arrange a sea of rose petals and candles, champagne breakfast in your room or an intimate candlelight dinner for two.
Food & Drink: Breakfast buffet from organic produce, stylish lounge bar, exquisite gourmet cuisine
In the morning guests are welcomed with a breakfast of organic and fair trade products, which is already included in the room rate. Fragrant croissants, fresh fruit, juices, cheese, sausages and cereals can be found also in the breakfast buffet as well as salads and egg dishes. When the weather is nice, breakfast can be taken on the garden terrace „Saint Calvaire“. Otherwise it is served in the lounge of the „de Refter“, the former refectory of the cloister. Omelettes are freshly prepared before your eyes. On request, the friendly staff provides lunches and picnic baskets to take with you on day trips. In the evening the „Wine & Dine“, just 100 metres from Piazza of Sittard, tempts gourmet diners to enjoy its creations.
