Oldschool Hotel is located in a former secondary school in the heart of Winterswijk. The building’s authentic character has been carefully preserved and combined with modern comfort.
Each room has its own unique character and is named after a school subject. From Biology to History, and from Music to Dutch, every classroom tells its own story. For an even more memorable stay, choose The Dean, The Professor, or the luxurious suite The Principal.
The stately front building, dating back to 1870, has been restored to its former glory. At the top of the façade, the inscription “Rijks Hoogere Burgerschool” still remains, a testament to the building’s previous function as a municipal monument. This is why we are proud to be listed on the National Monument Portal:
Just the two of you, enjoying some quality time together. Come relax in one of our luxurious rooms with indulgent baths, perhaps even a sauna, and soak in the charming atmosphere.
