We don't do swimmingpools and we don't do breakfast, but we do do awesome views, the biggest rooms you have ever seen in a truly iconic building!
A true urban icon
As one of the highest watertowers in the Netherlands, this massive construction of bricks and steel used to hold a massive amount of water up until 2013. The tower was built under the architecture of the city’s architect dr. Mulock Houwer himself.
The Watertoren West has only recently been transformed into a hotel, but still you can see and feel it’s former use in every corner and every room. Standing proud and tall above most of Groningen, this watertower is a true urban icon.
Meetings & events
In addition to staying overnight, Hotel Watertoren West offers a unique place to organize events, meetings and get-togethers. Arrange a business meeting in one of the meeting rooms situated in the upper water reservoir or host an event in the Skylounge while enjoying a fantastic view of the city and the surrounding countryside.
Business
Everything in Hotel Watertoren West is aimed at facilitating the business traveller. You will stay comfortably for longer periods in our spacious and fully equipped apartments.

Our Rooms...
The character of the Watertoren is clearly reflected in all apartments. The storey floors are formed on the original concrete support structure, and are therefore not level everywhere. Some of the apartments are located in or directly under the lower water tank, which explains the special walls and ceilings.
Groningen
There is of course more to do in Groningen than just visit the Watertoren. The city center and numerous hotspots are within walking and cycling distance of the Hotel!
Many activities surround our accommodation. Of course you can explore the city and surrounding neighborhood by taking a walk or rent a bike. We have some of the city’s hotspots highlighted in our hotel information guide.
There are plenty of activities to enjoy near your accommodations, giving you a great selection of experiences to choose from. If you’re keen to discover everything before you leave, you might want to think about extending your stay a little.
