Hotel in het Huis van Deventer is housed in a monumental building dating back to 1495, situated on the historic Grote Kerkhof. In the past, this was the Latin School where the scholar and humanist Erasmus studied in the 15th century. Guests staying at this hotel reside momentarily on the historic square with a view of the Lebuïnuskerk.

The various views into the old courtyards and the view of the IJssel River inspired the design team to give each room its own atmosphere and character. Together with the hotel owners Rob and Andrea and the artists Dedden & Keizer, Studio Groen+Schild developed a concept for the hotel. Each room has its own theme: for example, the Gridnik with its enormous undulating bookcase refers to Deventer's history as a city of books, and the Cabin in the Woods has a unique bathroom and a modern alcove bed. In addition to the seven hotel rooms, there are also two living kitchens. It is possible to rent an entire floor of the hotel for a group. The diversity and surprises in the design align with the owners' ambition: to introduce their guests to Deventer in an unforgettable way.
