Staying near MECC Maastricht for an Andre Rieu concert means choosing between a small cluster of hotels right by the arena and a wider spread across the rest of town. Of the 24 hotels on this list, three are walkable from the venue, with the closest just 0.17 kilometres away, essentially at the door. Those three suit anyone who wants to walk in, enjoy the show, and walk home without fuss, handy if you're catching one of the later dates after a long day. Further out, hotels sit up to 2.48 kilometres from MECC, still a short ride by city standards, and suit travellers happy to base themselves in Maastricht proper, with boutique stays and even a five-star option among them. Andre Rieu plays MECC Maastricht on six dates in December 2026, and with only three hotels walkable from the arena, this isn't a market where you want to leave your booking until the week of the show.
When to book
Andre Rieu plays MECC Maastricht on six dates in December 2026. Only three of the 24 listed hotels are walkable from the venue, so if being close matters, secure one of those first. Rooms further into town, up to 2.48 kilometres out, are worth locking in early too once your date is set.
