GRAND HOTEL HUIS TER DUIN
History & Story
In 1880, the local population of Noordwijk was dependent on fishing. The then Mayor Pické found that Noordwijk had more to offer than just fish. A seaside resort with allure would yield a better catch. In 1883 Pické puts on the highest point of the dunes the first spade in the sand and the Grand Hotel Huis ter Duin was opened in 1885. Nowadays, the hotel features a wide range of facilities which will make sure that guests can enjoy themselves for the time of their stay and experience the #preferredlife to the fullest.
