GRAND HOTEL HUIS TER DUIN
History & Story
Perched atop the highest dune of Noordwijk, Grand Hotel Huis ter Duin has been a symbol of seaside luxury since 1887. Originally established to elevate Noordwijk beyond its fishing heritage, the hotel quickly became a prestigious retreat for royalty and elite guests.
Over the decades, Huis ter Duin has maintained its reputation for excellence while evolving to meet modern hospitality standards. A renovation in 1984, inaugurated by Princess Margriet of the Netherlands, solidified its position as one of the Netherlands’ premier seaside destinations. Following a fire in 1990, the hotel was meticulously rebuilt, blending historic charm with contemporary elegance.
Today, Grand Hotel Huis ter Duin offers two distinctive experiences: The Historic, preserving timeless grandeur, and The Grand Hotel, a sophisticated combination of comfort and warmth. With world-class accommodations, exclusive dining, and breathtaking sea views, Huis ter Duin continues to be the ultimate destination for discerning travelers seeking luxury at the Dutch coastline.
Date Renewal
