    Luxury travel to the Netherlands

    Sitting above Belgium, with Germany to the east and the North Sea to the west, the Netherlands is one of Europe’s powerhouses when it comes to art and culture.

    Also known informally as Holland, the Netherlands – which translates as ‘lower lands’ – has a truly remarkable landscape. More than half the country is below sea level, and much of it has been reclaimed from the sea. Drainage ditches and canals are a common sight in the Netherlands and as you might expect, it is incredibly flat. The North Sea winds rush in from the west and churns the turbines of the windmills that are dotted across the landscape.

    Such a landscape lends itself to agriculture and once you head out of the cities, the land gives way to farms and fields and fields of tulips, which burst into colour in the spring.

    Amsterdam has long been a city break favourite, with its wealth of museums, contemporary culture and pretty canals. Its museums and galleries are filled with the works of the Dutch Masters – Rembrandt, Vermeer and Frans Hals – as well one of the world’s most influential artists, Van Gogh. The Netherlands definitely isn’t a place stuck in the past – there is much to be admired about modern day Dutch design and there are plenty of galleries, trendy coffee shops and boutiques to explore, both in Amsterdam and the Hague.

    Outdoor lovers will love hopping on a bike to explore and heading out the coast where windswept sand dunes and beautiful islands await.

    There are many incredible places to stay in Netherlands. Here are some of our favourites, handpicked by our travel designers:

    Amsterdam

    Conservatorium Hotel
    The Conservatorium Hotel takes residence in a magnificent Neo-Gothic building in the heart of the Museum Quarter, a former home of Amsterdam’s Sweelinck Conservatory of Music, with its rich historical narrative carefully woven throughout its glorious regeneration. 129 guestrooms and suites are spread over eight floors and range from a spacious superior room up to a penthouse suite. All rooms and suites include state of the art in room technology, luxurious linens and a private bar. Brushed-oak flooring and beige furniture define the cool autumnal colour scheme that is simultaneously modern and classic. The large bathrooms feature large rainfall showers, marble tubs and LCD mirror TVs. Central to the hotel’s design and lifestyle vision are its restaurants and bars. All dining here is under the direction of celebrated Dutch chef Schilo van Coevorden. Taiko restaurant sits in the spacious historic part of the hotel serving up contemporary Asian cuisine made from local, seasonal produce. The chic Tunes Bar is an elegant yet casual haven in which to enjoy classic drinks, cocktails, sushi and Asian tapas day and night, while the Conservatorium Brasserie and Lounge are located in the atrium, offering contemporary local dishes for all-day dining. Guests here have complimentary access to the divine Akasha Holistic Wellbeing Centre, a personal host assigned to them and there is also a shopping gallery with a hair salon and high-end luxury stores. Outside, the best shops, restaurants, museums and galleries are waiting to be explored within easy walking distance.
