Genuine Dutch Design
A bustling small city, Eindhoven is the "Capital of Dutch Design" and home to the Design Academy. It houses a renowned technical university, and is a European technological hub that makes it shine with modern buildings and venues. The 5th-largest city in the Netherlands has also become popular for the fast-growing Eindhoven Airport.
Although it gained its city rights in 1232, until the foundation of the Philips Company in 1891 it was still a small village. Encompassing the growth of the company, at the beginning of the 21st century its population had jumped to 200,000 people.
Nowadays, it still attracts companies and people wanting to develop themselves in the fields of creativity and innovation. The Dutch Design Week is a famous event that takes place in October, while contemporary media, art and technology inspire the city’s agenda throughout the year.
Choosing hotels in central Eindhoven is the best way to have everything at hand. However, hotels or B&Bs near the train station or Eindhoven Airport are also a good option to avoid last-minute rushes. Check out Booking.com’s deals before you travel!

A lovely, friendly place to visit. Excellent transport network, with modern, clean facilities. The town centre is packed with bars, restaurants, cinema, shops, a perfect place for a relaxing city break. Also has some lovely sculptures, and architecture.

Eindhoven is a great base.
Eindhoven is a great base. It has many good restaurants. I was there to see a horse show in nearby Oirschot, so I didn't do much in Eindhoven itself. The open air museum was very interesting.

Eindhoven is one of the "smartest" cities on earth.
Eindhoven is one of the "smartest" cities on earth.* If you are interested in technology innovation and art & design inspiration, this is the most interesting city in the Netherlands. Go to Strijp-S. This re-purposed Philips complex is the up & Eindhoven creative hotbed. Lots to do, see, and eat. Ketelhuis for drinks & eats. go to Fish & Chips for hip, tasty take-out. Stroll though the markets on Tuesday in the city center or Saturday in Woensel. Or wander through Genepre Park. Van Gogh painted in this park. BUT ... If you want old world charm ... well this might not be the place. It was heavily bombed in WWII, so it was rebuild in the 50s.
It's also easy to get to and nicely located for Germany & Belguim. Paris is only a 4.5 train ride away too! Eindhoven has its own airport and you can rent bikes at the train station. But if you are visiting the city center & Strijp-S, you can just walk.
*Brainport region -Eindhoven, Helmond and around- was awarded the 'smartest region of the world' in New York by the Intelligent Community Forum (ICF) under the theme Health & ICT in 2011.

“Style of hotel: old building with interesting arrangement all around; nice location in Eindhoven. Close to everything yet very quiet. Good value for what I paid, considering other prices in the area. First hotel I have ever been in where the staff was able to produce some food even after the kitchen was closed - 5 stars just for that!”
“Location in the center of everything, and few minutes walk to the station; cosy and comfortable room, good wifi, quite clean, very friendly and helping staff. By chance stayed there on a day of football event celebration and could enjoy the party directly from my window, was on the square just in front of hotel.”
