About Hotel Nassau Breda
- The sisters named the house the Love Institute and in 1903 began a Neo-Gothic chapel on a former soap-factory plot.
- It opened 26 May 2016 with 95 rooms, including a panoramic top-floor suite, and a meeting room inside the old chapel.
- Huis Bruheze (1934) and Huis Waelwijk (1950) were punched through to make the convent labyrinth behind a closed façade.
History
Hotel Nassau Breda occupies a cluster of five national monuments on Nieuwstraat, one of the oldest streets in Breda (recorded on the city's 1350 street plan). In 1849 the Franciscan Sisters settled here in Huis Assendelft, renaming it the "Love Institute" (Liefdegesticht); in 1903 they began building a Neo-Gothic chapel and a brick extension on the site of a former soap factory, later expanding with the purchase of Huis Bruheze (1934) and Huis Waelwijk (1950), breaking through the buildings to create a labyrinthine convent complex behind the closed façade.
After the sisters left, the complex housed students and small businesses, then stood empty from 2003 to 2013 before its current owner acquired and restored it. The converted convent, orphanage and chapel — with structure and arches kept intact — opened as Hotel Nassau Breda on 26 May 2016, the first five-star hotel in the province of North Brabant, joining Marriott's Autograph Collection with 95 rooms including a panoramic top-floor suite.
