Hotel Halbert

The story of Tjalling Joostes Halbertsma

Hotel Halbert

When you enter the Oude Boteringestraat in Groningen, you are surrounded by the rich history of the city. Here, among the oldest and best preserved buildings, lies Hotel Halbert – a boutique hotel with a story. This special building was discovered in the 19th century by professor Tjalling Joostes Halbertsma, whose adventurous spirit is still palpable in the hotel and the city.


Hotel Halbert offers a unique four-star experience in the heart of Groningen, where history and modern luxury come together. Our hotel is the ideal base to explore the city, whether you come for culture, a relaxing weekend, or a business meeting.


Here you will experience Groningen at its best – a city that has changed over the centuries, but whose soul remains palpable. This is your place of peace, inspiration and connection in the vibrant city centre.


In Hotel Halbert, history, hospitality and comfort come together in a way that you won't find anywhere else. Every room, every space tells a piece of the story of Halbertsma and his love for Groningen. We invite you to experience the charm of Hotel Halbert yourself and discover the story of Halbertsma.
