The Best Hotels in The Hague for Every Traveller

Formerly the Dutch National Bank, this posh hotel retains authentic features such as circular vault doors, oak-panelled walls, art deco stained glass, marble columns and royal portraits. It all combines to evoke the prestigious world of private banking, so expect classic cocktails served in the Gold Bar and gourmet fare at the Brasserie Stocks and Bonds. Every morning, there’s a breakfast buffet loaded with fruits, straight-out-the-oven pastries and a smorgasbord of jams and preserves. In guest rooms, you’ll find original beam features and plush velvet cushions, offset by brass lamps and old safes that hide minibars.

Like the city itself, Parkhotel Den Haag wears its prestige proudly; interspersed with offbeat colour combinations and printed feature walls, the place recalls the city’s cultural pedigree at every turn. The lofty bar is flooded with light thanks to floor-to-ceiling stained glass windows. Here, you can sample signature Dutch snacks on charcuterie boards or nurse a cocktail. Or, you can order takeout to your room from a range of partnered restaurants – just ask the staff on reception for more details – and they’ll happily provide their top recommendations.

Mahogany wood furnishings and a palette of charcoal and bottle green create a darkly romantic atmosphere that riffs off The Hague’s Gothic architecture make this one of the best hotels in The Hague. Think open fires, Baroque feature walls and splashes of eccentricity – a zebra-print chair here, a bursting floral mural there – it’s these details which make each guest room unique. Electrically adjustable beds and blackout curtains make getting a good night’s rest ahead of a day of trawling Gallery Row that much easier.

Every room at Restaurant, Hotel & Spa Savarin comes complete with a painting of the Hague’s Royal Academy of Art – but it’s the large and luxurious spa that you’ll really want to write home about. A swimming pool with whirlpool, Finnish saunas, infrared saunas, a Turkish steam bath, a hot tub and a cool bath… they’ve thought of everything. The spa is also open to the public so opt for an early morning dip or pre-dinner indulgence if you want the place to yourself. Treatments – to which there are three full A4 pages dedicated – are performed by students or recent graduates of the ROC Mondriaan beauty school, so expect extra-attentive therapists. The Bar & Bistro specialises in French cuisine with a few local dishes thrown in for good measure.

Like the eclectic paraphernalia that covers every conceivable surface within it, The Collector Hotel is a celebration of the city’s rich and diverse offering. Rooms are a cacophony of curiosities – quirky artworks and toffee-toned leather furnishings anchor the look together while a peppering of collectables means there’s always something to hold your attention. If you’re looking to fill your days with off-beat offerings that go against the grain of the old-world arts, the staff at The Collector are full of recommendations. They’ve also got some top tips on which local restaurants to try out, too, from Indonesian eateries to French bistros and vegan cafes.
