Accessibility
In the heart of The Hague, near your office
Bleyenberg is located on the Grote Markt in the heart of The Hague—within walking distance of the city’s major employers and government agencies. The Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport, the Ministry of the Interior, the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management, the Municipality of The Hague, and the Netherlands Court of Audit are all within a 5- to 10-minute walk or bike ride.
HTM tram lines 2, 3, 4, and 6 stop right at the Grote Markt tram stop (after Spui). From The Hague Central Station, all of these tram lines will take you to us in just two stops. Central Station → Spui → Grote Markt
There are plenty of bike parking spots next to our building, on Boekhorststraat, or on Prinsegracht.
Whether you come by bike, public transportation, or on foot—your colleagues and guests will be there in no time. No parking hassles, no long commutes. Full focus on your event.
The entrance to the Q-Park Prinsegracht is located right across from our front door. Tip: the other entrance (or exit) is located next to City Hall on Spui, and oddly enough, that entrance is called Q-Park Grote Markt! The parking garage thus extends the entire length of the street.
