History
Hotel Estheréa occupies a row of seventeenth-century canal houses at Singel 303-309. After her husband's death in the Second World War, Maria Flieger-Gruyters took over a guesthouse whose owner had gone underground and later bought the building when he did not return. She named the house for daughters Esther, Elly, and Ria and expanded into adjoining properties. The hotel now has 91 rooms and two suites, still family-run.
