Château St. Gerlach

The former farm residence of the St. Gerlach country estate is now a distinctive and charming hotel.

The history of the St. Gerlach dates back to the 12th century. Since 1997, the Château functions as a hotel and restaurant and offers guests warm hospitality in a historical setting.

Throughout the hotel, characteristic furniture, beautiful antiques, Venetian hand-woven fabrics and multi-printed silks give the interiors an inspiring and rich ambience.

Six stylishly furnished rooms offer a marvellous setting for festive and business gatherings with a capacity of 5 to 300 guests. The hotel also has a wonderful lounge with an open fireplace, a cosy bar and a multifunctional conference room.

The rooms, suites and apartments have been equipped to meet a variety of needs and wishes, ensuring that your stay will be a comfortable one.

Breakfast

Breakfast is served from 07:00 till 10:00 on Monday to Friday and from 08:00 till 10:30 on Saturdays and Sundays. The extensive breakfast facilities in our garden pavilion ensure that you can enjoy your morning meal, while admiring the authentic herb garden and the pastoral landscape.

Restaurant Château St. Gerlach

The restaurant is open from 18:30 till 21:00. Three reception rooms in the former living quarters of the aristocratic family now feature a top-quality, à la carte restaurant. Each space 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 perfectly complement the dishes. On sunny days, the splendid patio is also a great place to dine out.

Bistrot de Liège

The bistro is open from 12:00 till 20:30. Baron de Selys de Fanson was the Château St. Gerlach’s last resident. His kitchen, dining room and reception room have now been transformed into the cosy Bistrot de Liège.

The authentic 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. In this informal place you can enjoy a week menu, light dishes from the region or simply have a cup of coffee.

The Château St. Gerlach is located in the valley of the Geul River, less than 10 km away from the city centre of Maastricht. This city is a byword for exuberant living with its cheerful outdoor cafés, exclusive shopping streets and historic buildings and monuments from around 1590.

Explore the wonderful Limburg countryside with its many hills and visit the wildlife reserve Ingendael.

Surrounded by wide baroque gardens and extensive parkland, this is the ideal accommodation for those wishing to combine peace with convenient proximity to the city.
