About Derlon

A Hotel with Soul

When you enter Derlon Hotel today, you step into more than just a four-star hotel – you enter a place with a soul that spans centuries. Here, in the heart of Maastricht, where the city guards its oldest secrets, stands a hotel built upon layers of history.

The Legacy of Louis Desiré Derlon

The name Derlon is a tribute to the French chef Louis Desiré Derlon, who made his mark in the mid-19th century with his refined French cuisine. His hospitality, attention to detail, and sense of elegance live on in everything the hotel embodies today. Yet, the history of this place reaches even further back.

The Roman Treasures of the VIA Belgica

Beneath the hotel lies a unique archaeological site: a part of the ancient Roman city of Maastricht. Almost two thousand years ago, soldiers, merchants, and travellers walked here along the VIA Belgica – the main road that connected the Roman Empire. The remains of a Roman road, a sanctuary, and parts of a basilica are still visible today in the private museum beneath the hotel, exclusively accessible to our guests. Staying at Derlon is not just an overnight stay – it is a journey back in time.

Timeless Luxury in the Heart of Maastricht

Over the years, the hotel has become a beloved fixture in Maastricht. A meeting place for travellers from around the world, for lovers of life, culture, and those seeking quality, tranquillity, and a touch of history. The interior blends modern comfort with classic elegance, paying homage to the rich past upon which the hotel is built.
Derlon Hotel Maastricht is more than a place to stay. It is where time seems to stand still, where centuries meet, and where you feel truly at home, surrounded by history.
