Information

Prins Bernhardlaan 16 · Former prison · D'arrêt restaurant

The place

De Oude Gevangenis is what its name says: the old prison, a historic building in Alkmaar turned into a hotel of the Fletcher chain. The cells have been turned into rooms and suites, with a warm atmosphere and the odd nod to the building's past. It has its own restaurant, D'arrêt, for lunch and dinner.

Why here

For the history of the building and because, being outside the old town, it is easier to arrive by car. The centre and the Waagplein are a stroll away and the Bergen and Egmond coast a short bike ride.

How to get there

It is on the Prins Bernhardlaan, south-west of the centre. From the station, about fifteen minutes on foot or a short taxi ride.
