De Kade Apartments (short /long stay facility): beautiful, luxurious apartments situated at the heart of Dordrecht’s historical city centre with a panoramic view where the three mighty rivers Merwede (Merwe), Oude Maas (Old Meuse) and “North” meet.
Each apartment is fully equipped (incl. jacuzzi, flat screen television, wireless Internet and kitchenette).

In 2006 the site of Dordrecht's former drinking water company has been transformed into 1.5 hectares of (kitchen) gardens. The former pumping station (1942) now is a restaurant and the monumental water tower (1882) has become a hotel.

The restaurant is open seven days a week for breakfast, lunch and dinner in which predominantly organic products are used; right from the garden onto your plate! There is a bakery as well where sourdough bread, cakes and biscuits are made.

The informal atmosphere of the hotel makes you feel completely at home; as if you are staying with friends!
