Where to stay in Tanthof
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Tanthof is low-rise almost throughout. Delft keeps the hotels, and a traveller who books in the city can still reach this southern quarter easily, since Tanthof-East and Tanthof-West together make up a single stretch of low-rise streets rather than a distant suburb. Voorhof and Buitenhof are the city's other listed quarters. Rooms sit in Delft.

About Tanthof
What are the main landmarks in Tanthof?
Tanthof's line on the Delft roll carries no landmark. No monument, museum or church is recorded inside Tanthof, which follows from what the quarter was built as, streets of low-rise housing laid out in the 1970s and 1980s rather than an old core with things to see. Delft holds the sights.
Buitenhof and Voorhof stand in the same relation to the city, each a quarter on the roll rather than an attraction in its own right.
What is the history of Tanthof?
Tanthof is a late addition. The quarter went up across the 1970s and 1980s, in low-rise blocks laid out as two halves, and that building period is the whole of the recorded past: no earlier village and no charter appear under the name. Tanthof-East and Tanthof-West date from the same effort. Provincie Zuid-Holland and the Netherlands supply the rest of the address.
Where is Tanthof?
Tanthof occupies the south of Delft in Provincie Zuid-Holland, a low-rise quarter in two halves, Tanthof-East and Tanthof-West.
