The Top 21 Hotels Near Villa Ruimzicht

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.

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.

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.
-
A former 19th-century police station that now holds 41 cloud-white rooms with king beds and, true to the brand name, a pillow menu. The Pillows chain has a gift for dropping polished boutique hotels into cities that don't get a lot of glossy tourism attention, and Zwolle is exactly that kind of find. The Living lounge runs food, drinks, and coffee by the fireplace all day, and Coperto Restobar handles proper dining. It holds a Michelin Key.

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 19-room hotel carved out of a magnificent old prison building in Zwolle, where the team behind De Librije added rooms largely so dinner guests wouldn't have to face the drive home. Butlers work the corridors, beds are by Auning, and junior suites add sitting rooms that start to feel genuinely residential. The restaurant access alone makes other hotel dining programs look apologetic.

-
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.
-
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.
