Hotel Des Indes, a Luxury Collection Hotel

Description:

• Highly recommended for its elegant accommodations and a location in the center of the oldest part of the city, this palatial old-world hotel has been renovated and brought right up to date. It started out as the residence of a certain Baron Willem Joseph van Brienen van de Groote Lindt (1760-1839), and became a hotel in 1881. Since then it has welcomed royalty, diplomats, and celebrities, and has held a consistently prominent place in the Hague's social life. Its classically decorated guest rooms are the ultimate in comfort. Some bathrooms contain a whirlpool. Public rooms are lavishly fitted with marble, polished wood, chandeliers, and velvet upholstery. The gracious lobby lounge is a favorite place for residents of the Hague to meet for tea and other refreshments. Continental Restaurant DesInDes, a stylish setting for good eating, is as popular with locals as it is with visitors and guests.
