Always something to discover
In the past, Gorinchem was one of the most important fortified cities in the Netherlands. Most fortified cities did not escape demolition in the 19th century. Gorinchem is one of the few fortified cities where the rich history is still visible. Walk along the ramparts around the city and enjoy the spectacular view over the rivers, visit the Dalempoort (the only remaining city gate), or explore one of the city's gunpowder magazines.
Located just 2 kilometers from the charming city center of Gorinchem, Hotel Gorinchem-A27 is the ideal base for exploring the city. Stroll along the medieval city walls, wander past the cute boutiques in the center, or immerse yourself in the story of the book chest at Slot Loevestein. There is plenty to experience in and around the city.
