Today in The Grand

The Grand breathes history and feels contemporary luxury. It is a place where the hubbub of the city stays outside, and tranquillity embraces you inside. Here, where people have congregated for centuries, time slows down again.

Welcome to The Grand. Snuggle under the soft sheets of your royal hotel bed and fall asleep under the gaze of ancient murals.

Walk through the history of the Grotestraat

The Grand is located on the Grotestraat in Nijmegen. For centuries, this street was one of Nijmegen's most important streets: the lively connection between the Waalkade and the historical city centre. 

Merchants, ferrymen, revellers and maids crossed each other's paths here daily. Past inns like the Witte Beer and the Gulden Valk and places of worship that sheltered different faiths. 

Grotestraat was the heart of the Jewish quarter for a long time. Where families like Presburg, Levison, and Polak lived. Where Henriette Presburg married Heinrich Marx and had a child named Karl.

Over the years, the street changed

What was once a steep route where horse and cart accidents happened, later turned into a place full of activity.

First came the print shops. Then Kersten's family cinema. From the 1950s, cafés dominated the street scene.

After the dilapidation and demolition of several old buildings, new construction around 1980 made room for a fresh start. Grotestraat, despite its transformations, always remained a place of vibrant city life.
