The Royal Quarter of The Hague: it stands for selected shops, museums, cultural monuments and unique architecture. From here, many other sights of the city are within walking distance. In only 15 minutes you are directly at the sea. No wonder, then, that IHG Hotels & Resorts chose this location for its first Dutch property of the premium collection brand voco. A former bank building became voco The Hague. Instead of offices and ATMs, the building from 1923 now houses a total of 204 elegant rooms on seven levels. 

Nature meets metropolis

The hotel impressively proves that urban design and green elements are not mutually exclusive. The guest rooms are designed in a metropolitan style, but the bedding is made of 100 percent recycled materials. In the bathroom, organic products in refillable containers pamper. In the atrium and common areas, the oasis ambience prevails. A 143-metre-long 3-D installation of thousands of metal butterflies leads from the lobby to the picturesque garden. The terrace there is not only the perfect place to relax, it is also a place where nature can flourish. Responsible for this was an experienced ecologist who designed the terrace according to voco sustainability requirements.

Party in the vault

The idea of nature continues in the hotel's restaurants and bars. The attentive team at the Botanica Kitchen Bar & Lounge serves creative dishes from the charcoal oven, and 80 percent of the dishes on the menu are vegetarian. Dining is done in an ambience reminiscent of a botanical garden - nomen est omen. The boundaries between inside and outside are fluid. Breakfast, such as masterfully roasted Java coffee, and small dishes as well as cocktails are available in the Ultramarijn Wonderbar. The highlight here is the bank's former vault. It serves as a unique setting for special moments or small events.

voco The Hague is the brand's first hotel in the Netherlands. Their portfolio already includes properties in over 18 other destinations around the world. A further 34 hotels are in the pipeline. Their popularity is based on the reliably upscale quality across all locations and the informality of a charming boutique hotel. Personalized service and high-end touches are also part of the brand philosophy. Already legendary: the welcome gift, which is different at each location. In The Hague branch, you get Borstplaat, a typical Dutch sweet, at check-in.
