With the true grandeur of a castle, at St. Gerlach Château hospitality, tranquillity and authenticity are pleasantly balanced.

This stunning retreat is ideally situated just 10 km from Maastricht, in one of the most picturesque river valleys in the hilly Limburg countryside - the Geuldal. Surrounded by spacious baroque gardens and extensive parkland, this is the ideal accommodation for those wishing to combine peace with convenient proximity to the city.

Enjoy the culinary arts of French cuisine in the classy hotel restaurant and revitalize your senses in the Spa, also housed in this historic building. Throughout the hotel characteristic furniture, beautiful antiques, Venetian hand-woven fabrics and multi-printed silks give the interiors an inspiring and wealthy atmosphere. The rooms and suits have been equipped to meet a variety of needs and wishes, ensuring that your stay will be a comfortable one.

What could be more beautiful? The irresistibly picturesque Geul river, the marvellous Ingendael wildlife reserve, our own extensive parks, stylish baroque gardens, a farmhouse herb garden, a standard-tree fruit arboretum, and a rose garden – features that as such have given rise to the reputation of the Château St. Gerlach as the most famous country estate in the area of Maastricht. The history of the country estate dates back to the twelfth century. Since 1997, the Château has been the home of a hotel and restaurant that offer guests lavish hospitality in a historic setting – and situated in the midst of an extraordinarily beautiful landscape.

The former homestead of the St. Gerlach country estate now accommodates a distinctive and charming hotel. All of the 112 splendid rooms and suites offer five-star hospitality. The comprehensive breakfast facilities available in our garden pavilion enable visitors to admire the authentic herb garden and the pastoral landscape, where Konik horses and Galloway cattle graze in peace. The hotel also offers a convivial lounge with an open hearth, a cosy bar, and a multifunctional conference room. Naturally, our guests are also welcome to make use of the indoor Roman swimming pool, sauna and Turkish baths – all at no extra charge.

Breakfast is served: Mon-Fri: 7.00 - 10.00, Sat-Sun: 8.00 - 10.30.

Restaurant Château St. Gerlach.
opening times: 18.30 - 21.00 hours

Three reception rooms in the living quarters of the aristocratic family that used to live in the Château now accommodate a top-quality à la carte restaurant. Each room is furnished in its own distinctive manner, and in full harmony with the original painted walls and ceilings. The comprehensive menu is oriented towards French cuisine – and our renowned wines form the perfect complement to the culinary art of our kitchen staff. On sunny days, the splendid patio is particularly appealing to diners. Six stylishly furnished rooms offer marvellous surroundings for festive and business gatherings for groups from 5 to 300 guests.

Bistrot de Liège.
opening times: 12.00 - 20.30 hours.

Baron de Selys de Fanson was St. Gerlach’s last resident; his kitchen, dining room and reception room have now been transformed into the cosy Bistrot de Liège. The original rugged paving stones, the antique stove and an original Liège-style pantry in the open kitchen are responsible for much of the Bistrot’s unique ambience. Guests visiting these informal surroundings will be treated to a menu de la semaine, light dishes from the region, or simply a cup of coffee.

The St. Gerlach estate is less than 10 km from the city centre of Maastricht (is chosen as the best city of the Netherlands), a byword for exuberant living with its cheerful open-air cafes, exclusive shopping quarter and around 1590 historic buildings and monuments.
