Amsterdam & Noordwijk.

Grandhotel Huis Ter Duin in Noordwijk, not far away from A’dam in the Netherlands is a nice location.

For centuries Noordwijk was a fishing village, in the 1880 the mayor thought that Noordwijk had more to offer than just fish. An elegant seaside resort would result in a better catch. In 1883 he broke ground on the highest point of the dunes and the elegant Grand Hotel Huis ter Duin was opened in 1885.

Two years later the textile merchant Heinrich Tappenbeck purchased the Huis ter Duin with six hectares of land. Tappenbeck’s Huis ter Duin manly aimed at high level guests. Members of the Royal House and members of the Belgian Royal Family regularly stayed at Huis ter Duin.

The level was retained but competition increased on the coast. In the 1960s the hotel was renovated, sold and then resold.

In 1984 the Grand Hotel Huis ter Duin was reopened by Princess Margriet after renovations and an extension.

In January 1990 a large part of the hotel was destroyed by fire. During reconstruction an efficient, imposing and ultra secure hotel was designed that meets the highest standards of guests that visit or stay in the hotel.

Today Grand Hotel Huis ter Duin consists of two parts: the Grand Hotel and the Nouvel Hotel. The Grand Hotel survived the fire in 1990 and has five floors, of which four are equipped with hotel rooms. The Nouvel Hotel sprung up after the fire and consists of 11 floors, of which nine are equipped with hotel rooms. In 2012 it celebrated the 125 years birthday.

House & Hotel Magazine enjoyed the hotel, the beach and the nice spa.
