Discover the Netherlands with WestCord Hotels.
Fan of small huts and cabins, fan of large, fancy hotels, but we are certainly also fans of the smaller hotel chains. Then you have the variation, the uniqueness per place, but you also have the guarantee that everything will be just right. That the staff is friendly, that the interior is on fleek, that the in-house catering industry has good dishes, that kind of thing. Exactly from this are the WestCord Hotels. A Dutch family business with the roots on Vlieland. They are located in several places in the Netherlands (seventeen in total, from Delft to Terschelling and everywhere in between).
From vibrant Rotterdam to the middle of nature on a Wadden Island, whatever you like. We highlight some of our favorites in this article, but the main motto here is: collect them all.
They always say: the holiday feeling starts at the boat! Because boat + island = holiday. On to WestCord Hotel Schylge op Terschelling, island vibes but nice and close. A weekend, a week or the entire summer: Terschelling is a paradise for anything and everything. The bird watchers, patio hoppers, beach fanatics, cycling enthusiasts and nature lovers – everyone. Hotel Schylge welcomes you back with open arms after your day. And at Schlyge you can do everything: go to the wellness, eat at Op West, have a drink on the large terrace and even go bowling.
And the best part is everywhere you look - in the lobby, your room, the restaurant or outside on the terrace - you have a view of the Wadden Sea and the tidal flats.
Always wanted to sleep on a cruise ship, but not a fan of the open ocean? Then it is ss Rotterdam the solution (you don't need sea legs for this). The former flagship of the Holland-America Line, the SS Rotterdam, now lies along the banks of the Maas. This means that you have a full view of the water. The ship is located just outside the busy city center, but you can get there in no time by water taxi. During a tour you get to see all corners of the ship and sail along back in the days to New York and the Dutch Merchant Navy.
You will find themed cabins such as the Bahamas or Manhattan for that real 'I'm-just-on-travel' feeling. So you don't have to travel far from home for that holiday luxury. Stroll on the deck, dine at de Club Room, Lido grill or an extensive wine tasting Ocean Wine Bar. It is not only an icon in the port of Rotterdam, but also the place with all kinds of entertainment for all ages (especially for the kids). From escape rooms, live performances to full theme evenings. Get that sailor suit out of the closet!
Where life in The Big Apple is very rushed, that is in Hotel New York in Rotterdam not the case. The hotel is located near the water and close to the center. Plenty of fun things to explore in the area. The hotel is the former headquarters of the Holland America Line, and where you can now sleep, eat and relax shine. You can join us café-restaurant Hotel New York of fine dining restaurant NY Basement. At the first you can go for a quicker bite (or an extensive one is certainly possible!) and then make the city unsafe, at the second you can dine for hours with a cocktail in front of you. The location is also perfect for a good (wedding) party.
The rooms come in no fewer than ten different flavors and are all equally unique. From cozy rooms where you can relax, rooms with a view over the harbor and Rotterdam, rooms with wooden bathrooms as if you were showering in a ship's cabin, and even rooms with fireplaces. So you can say that there really is something for everyone here.
There's nothing like Groningen! Still one of the better slogans if you ask us. And when in Groningen, then nothing beats visiting (or better yet spending the night at) The Market Hotel, on the Grote Markt. If you spend the night at The Market Hotel, you are really a hop and skip away from all kinds of cozy restaurants, the Noorderplantsoen, the Martini tower and much more to mention. In the hotel itself you also have a number of nice places to sit. For pastry (or an ice cream sundae) you have to go there Bakery Westers are. You can get cocktails at the bar or on the terrace Café Willem Albert and you're in the right place for an evening out for dinner. Sort of Dutch cuisine with a new-fangled twist.
It's always best to experience it yourself, but when a hotel wins several awards, you know it's in good hands. All this in the pleasant center of Groningen, so whether you spend the whole day in the hotel/your room or whether you go out; it's a party.
Hotel Arsenal Delft was built in the 17e century, as a former warehouse for weapons, spices and other commodities. Now converted to one corporate shop style hotel right in the heart of the city Delft – the (student) city known for its history, bustle and lots of fun (i.e. never going home again). The hotel is only five minutes from the train station and a ten-minute walk from the Vermeer Center Delft. So just leave your mountain boots at home: it's time to stroll here. No matter how much you want to spend the day curling up in your king-size bed, having drinks in the Gastrobar, splashing under the rain shower or bubbling in your bath: don't forget to visit Delft. Visit the Old & New Church, Museum Prinsenhof and the Delftse Hout and then sit at the terraces, small cafés and restaurants where you can have a cup of coffee or an extensive dinner.
Last nightcap? That is possible at the gastrobar from Hotel Arsenaal, the right place for great gin & tonics. Where herbs and spices used to be stored here for trade, you can now find them in your cocktail.
For a holiday to the tropics - with lots of palm trees, a swimming pool and good food - you no longer have to get on a plane. Bee Hotel Jakarta on the water on Java Island Amsterdam East it feels like you are somewhere in Indonesia. The interior of the hotel immediately brings out your inner Tarzan or Jane. All rooms border the almost 400m2 subtropical courtyard plus they look over the IJ (hello, sunset). Then we haven't even talked about the wellness yet. There you also have that nice view over the IJ. Feeling hungry after your workout? Then you go for the Indonesian rice table (something different). Cafe Jakarta, and order cocktails until the wee hours Skybar Malabar.
