The Top 30 Hotels Near Spoon Restaurant

The old hunting grounds of the Dukes of Brabant make for a particular kind of backdrop, and The Duke Club leans into it: a stately country-house hotel wrapped around one of the Netherlands' serious golf courses, south of the city canal-house circuit entirely. Twenty suites mix saturated color and patterned wallpaper with spa bathrooms and butler service, which is either a contradiction or exactly the point. Fine dining, a brasserie, and a spa complete the picture.

A manor house sitting in the woods outside Nistelrode, The Duke Suites leans hard into the English country estate fantasy: checkerboard marble floors, a sweeping oak staircase, crystal chandeliers, and crimson headboards. All 18 suites run over 70 square meters and come with freestanding baths and 24-hour butler service. There's an 18-hole golf course, a Finnish sauna, and a whirlpool for when the grandeur gets exhausting.

The hotel names itself after the chant Dutch football fans have been roaring since forever, which tells you exactly what you're in for. Tennis courts, squash, basketball, and indoor football fill the grounds, the non-athletic spaces are styled to look like ball courts, and one restaurant has a bowling lane running alongside the tables. A spa is on hand when you've inevitably overdone it. Selected by the Michelin Guide.

Fort Isabella's 17th-century barracks have been quietly repurposed into a thirty-room hotel, the original monumental windows and soaring ceilings kept intact. Auping beds and checkerboard rain showers fill the rooms; a shared living room with a bar holds the social center together. Woods, a canal, and a food hall sit just outside, and the old city is ten minutes by bike, which feels about right for a place that spent centuries being decidedly off-limits.

A shepherd who takes guests along on his rounds supplies the bistro here, which says quite a lot about the philosophy of this forested lodge near Hoge Veluwe National Park. The lodge has been around forever, and the rooms, forest cabins, and converted farmhouse all lean into the surrounding woodland rather than competing with it. A lobby fireplace and outdoor firepit handle the evenings, and workshop space draws retreat groups who need trees nearby to think straight.

A centuries-old Dutch country estate that doesn't lean into the antiques, Parc Broekhuizen is a small hotel where the rooms run to sculptural furniture and clean lines, with windows looking out over garden or lake. The kitchen takes the seasons seriously, which at this latitude means it has opinions. Woodland paths and still water fill the gaps between meals, and the whole place feels less like a retreat from the world than a reason to pay closer attention to it.
-
A 13th-century castle on the edge of the North Limburg village of Baarlo, surrounded by gardens quiet enough to make you forget your phone exists. The rooms lean into the Pillows name with Egyptian cotton piled high and beamed ceilings overhead, contemporary comforts tucked into medieval bones. Fine dining draws on the estate's own kitchen garden, and bikes are available for when the countryside starts looking too good to ignore from a window.

A 29-room boutique hotel in a restored 19th-century building right on the IJssel River, where several rooms look directly onto the water. The Pillows brand does self-consciously well-appointed comfort at a human scale, and this outpost in underrated Deventer delivers the full version: proper beds, an informal restaurant and lounge, and the IJssel Restobar opening onto a terrace at the river's edge, which is the obvious place to be.

Each of the eight rooms at this small, family-run canal hotel takes its personality from a different Utrecht museum, which sounds gimmicky until you see the stained glass and ceiling ornaments sitting alongside saturated walls and clean lines. The ground floor doubles as sunroom and lounge, and breakfast there runs long. The Michelin Guide lists it among its selected hotels, which fits: it has the feel of someone's very well-curated house.

Utrecht's original courthouse has been housing the guilty and the innocent since before the Norman Conquest, and the building still carries that weight. It's a boutique hotel now, where centuries of civic gravity meet colorful rooms decorated with archival photo prints from the city's legal past. Espresso machines and free wifi soften the sentence considerably. The in-house restaurant, De Rechtbank, draws plenty of locals who have no business being there.

Perched above a fashion boutique on Utrecht's old cobblestone Steenweg, Cozy Pillow is a small hotel that leans further into contemporary design than the name suggests. Rooms are quiet and stylish, breakfast appears outside your door in the morning, and Museum Speelklok is a short walk away. There's no restaurant on site, but the neighboring Ruby Rose handles cocktails and dinner with ornate interiors that pull their weight.

-
A 17th-century ophthalmology hospital turned boutique hotel, which gives the name a pleasing logic. The 36 rooms run across five styles, all muted palettes and minimalist lines that let the original exposed ceiling beams do the heavy lifting. Suites add high ceilings and city views. There's no on-site restaurant, but the sister hotel's spot is a short walk. Bikes are available to rent, which in Utrecht is less an amenity than a lifestyle requirement.
