De Plesman, a distinguished four-star hotel in The Hague, transforms the historic former headquarters of KLM into a captivating retreat, weaving the legacy of aviation pioneer Albert Plesman with contemporary elegance for travellers seeking a unique blend of heritage and modern comfort.
Steeped in the storied past of KLM's visionary founder, this landmark building nestles where dunes meet forest, offering a serene escape. Its 120 rooms exude understated sophistication, with plush seating areas, cable TVs, coffee machines, and private bathrooms featuring invigorating showers, premium toiletries, and hairdryers. Select rooms elevate the experience with fully equipped kitchens, including dishwashers, perfect for longer stays. Subtle nods to aviation history in the decor create a warm, distinctive ambiance that honors the hotel's origins.
The hotel's restaurant, inspired by Plesman's global vision, serves a thoughtfully curated menu of international dishes with Dutch influences, crafted from fresh, local ingredients. Guests can unwind in the inviting bar, where expertly mixed cocktails and fine wines complement a relaxed yet refined atmosphere. A daily buffet or continental breakfast, served in a light-filled dining space, showcases artisanal breads, regional cheeses, and seasonal specialties, setting the tone for a day of exploration.
Surrounded by lush gardens and a tranquil terrace, De Plesman invites guests to relax in nature's embrace. The hotel embraces The Hague's cycling culture, offering bike rentals to explore nearby trails and coastal paths. A dedicated concierge tailors experiences, from visits to historic landmarks to scenic rides through the dunes, ensuring guests connect with the city's dynamic spirit.
Just 500 meters from the iconic Madurodam and 2.5 kilometers from the sandy shores of Scheveningen Beach, De Plesman places guests near The Hague's cultural and natural treasures. Paleis Huis Ten Bosch is 5.2 kilometers away, and Rotterdam The Hague Airport is a convenient 22-kilometer drive, anchoring this historic haven in the heart of the city's charm.
