What do we do?

THE PLANS OF POST-PLAZA

We do not stand still! That is not an option when you want to be the best and nicest Hotel & Grand Café in Friesland. We believe that hospitality is never finished. Every day, we look for ways to improve, make things more enjoyable, and add surprises.

We do this together. With a team full of ideas, curiosity, and a healthy dose of Frisian pragmatism. At our company, everyone is given the space to be entrepreneurial. A good idea? Then we measure it against the familiar Post Plaza yardstick: will it make our guests happy?

From new dishes to special collaborations and from our own beers to events in the Grand Café, much of what you see here today started with an idea from a colleague.

That's how we continue to innovate. For our guests, for the city, and for ourselves.

We love ideas, brainstorming together, and then working them out. We love plans that start at the coffee table and eventually grow into something we are incredibly proud of together.

That's how our own beers came about: Knilles, Tsjomme, and Frommes. Brewed with character, a touch of stubbornness, and of course a good story. But it didn't stop there. We also like to let guests discover Leeuwarden from the water. That's why there are now several Post-Plaza sloops in the city's canals. Step aboard, take a trip through the historic center, and see Leeuwarden as we know it: relaxed, surprising, and always a little stubborn.

New ideas keep coming. Because if there's one thing we're bad at, it's sitting still.

POSTMEN DO NOT JUST THINK OF THEMSELVES

Next to taking good care of our guests and employees, we are also happy to help others. For many years, we have supported charities that we have committed ourselves to.

  • Through organizing Opkikker-days, the foundation ensures that a family with a child that has a long-term condition can have a day of fun and without worries. € 1 out of every sold bottle of water at Post-Plaza goes directly to Stichting Opkikker. Until now, we have been able to transfer more than € 15.000 to this fantastic charity.
     
  • We support Cambuur Verbindt with a big and warm heart. Together with this foundation, we once a year invite 20 children who are unable to go on a holiday due to a family situation. These children also want to be able to tell an amazing story after the summer holidays, and those stories are what we take care of! A day of training with Cambuur, going to the first game of the season, sleeping in our hotel and eating extensively in the Grand Café.
     
  • Water is in our Frisians' blood. That is why we are a proud friend of the Ljouwerter Skûtsje.

POSTMEN LIKE TO WORK TOGETHER

  • Blooming Bakery is not just any bakery. It is run by victims of violence. The bakery is part of Fier, the national expertise and treatment centre in the field of violence in dependency relationships. The bakery provides a safe environment where the women can work on their future and discover hidden talents. We are proud to work with them. 
     
  • Hotels For Trees makes a concrete contribution to a greener hotel world. A hotel world in which one new tree is planted for every day that a guest chooses to skip the room cleaning.

POSTMEN ALWAYS SEE NEW OPPORTUNITIES

Sometimes you reach a point where you feel: there is room for something new. Not because you have to, but because it fits.

With our second hotel, Vie Via, we have expanded our hospitality with another 74 rooms in Leeuwarden. While Post-Plaza is rooted in history, atmosphere, and the Grand Café as its vibrant heart, Vie Via brings new energy to the city.

Vie Via is lighter, more international, and more focused on meeting people. A place where travelers, locals, and digital nomads can easily meet each other. Where you can enjoy a stay, work, or drink coffee in the living room.

By adding Vie Via, we can welcome more people and give different types of guests a place that suits them.

Two hotels, each with its own character, but built on the same foundation: warm hospitality and love for Leeuwarden.
