The Hague's crown shines again

Hotel Des Indes -After a six-month renovation, the iconic hotel in The Hague is back in business.

The epicentre of Hague elegance since 1881, more beautiful and elegant than ever.

You probably know it: that imposing city palace on Lange Voorhout, where you always want to peek inside. Hotel Des Indes is one of those places where history and style come together - and where, as soon as you step inside, you feel like you're in another world. And the result? Not just beautiful, but downright breathtaking.

The renovation is not a drastic makeover, but a loving upgrade. Because how do you renovate a building with such a rich history without losing its soul? The answer is in the details. For six months, work was done with love, attention and a keen eye for what makes the hotel so special.

What has all changed?

• All rooms and suites have been renovated - from floor to chandelier. Including the spectacular Presidential Suites overlooking The Hague.
• The Lounge has been given a new look, in which warm yellow accents and royal blue blend perfectly with the classic Des Indes red.
• The bar, lobby, restaurant and lounges have been redecorated to seamlessly blend the grandeur of yesteryear with the comforts of today.
• Technology is discreet but present: climate control, modern televisions and up-to-date electrics - making it feel like coming home, in style.

In October, the exclusive Champagne Lounge will open in the former cigar room - a new hotspot in The Hague where sophistication and history come together.

Des Indes welcomes guests in sophisticated style - from lobby to lounge

The ground floor has been stylishly transformed. Reception, lounge, bar, restaurant and meeting rooms have been redecorated with a fine nuance of contemporary allure, while retaining the distinctive grandeur that has defined it for generations.

Des Indes' renowned Lounge welcomes guests daily for breakfast, lunch and dinner, while the vaunted High Tea, remains among the most beloved traditions among hotel guests and out-of-town visitors alike.

Restaurant Des Indes offers culinary adventures: from a refined Menu du Chef and à la carte dishes to complete packages with a luxury overnight stay, culinary 5-course dinner and extensive breakfast.

For anyone looking to immerse themselves for a while

What is perhaps best of all? Hotel Des Indes is not only there for international guests. There is also a warm welcome for its neighbours - people from The Hague and its surroundings. Book a High Tea, lunch or dinner. Think of it as an invitation to take a break from the daily hustle and bustle - and be surprised.

A place that lives

"Des Indes is not a museum," says general manager Yvonne van der Klaauw. "It is a place where people meet, where stories are created and memories are made. Thanks to this renovation, the building's historical grandeur will be preserved for future generations.
