on your right hand side. (See map)
From Hotel Haagsche Schouw to the Lorentz Center it takes about 20 minutes to walk to the Lorentz Center.
From the hotel you walk towards and cross the Haagsche Schouw bridge and walk straight ahead.
You will cross the busy Plesmanlaan at the traffic lights, and carry on along the Ehrenfestweg.
Turn left into the Einsteinweg passing the mushroom-shaped building there, after which you turn right into the Niels Bohrweg.
From that point You will be able to see the characteristic slant Oort building, situated behind the Huygens lab.

See for directions from the station to the Lorentz Center at the page How to get to the Lorentz Center
The other 3 hotels in the town center are all situated close to the bus stop for
a.o. bus nr 41, at the corner of Haarlemmerstraat and Prinsessekade, opposite the bridge between Kort Rapenburg and the Turfmarkt.

map.
From the hotel the Lorentz Center can also be reached by bike (about 20 minutes) or by bus.
The Lorentz Center offers bikes to the hotel guests.
To reach the Lorentz Center by bus, you may take bus 32, with direction Katwijk, which leaves from the bus stop "Cronesteinflat" every half hour at 0.25 and 0.55 hr
It is an 8 minutes walk to the bus stop from the hotel. Disembark at the bus stop "Transferium A44" after a 16 minutes bus trip. From the bus stop it is a 6 minutes walk to the Lorentz Center.
