The Bel Air hotel has had a presence in The Hague’s hospitality market for more than four decades.
During this period, the hotel has accommodated numerous presidents, artists and other VIPs, and has hosted hundreds of National Days, diplomatic events and ceremonies. Since the hotel was sold in April 2014, it has undergone major renovation. As of 4 of January 2016, the hotel will become a proud member of the Marriott family – and the first Marriot-branded hotel in The Hague. Marriott is one of the largest and best-known hotel chains in the world and has a strong international reputation among business and leisure guests, alongside its standing as a first-class host for a wide variety of events.
According to the new General Manager, Mr Vincent Pahlplatz, choosing Marriot was simple: “Currently, we are investing heavily in the creation of a completely up-to-date hotel, which is well-equipped for any purpose of visit to The Hague. Not only are we fully renovating all 306 hotel rooms, but we are also creating additional meeting space, boardrooms, new public areas and an executive lounge for our VIP guests on the top floor. From this lounge we offer a spectacular view over the city and the sea. The Great Room on the ground floor will be the ideal location for guests and inhabitants of The Hague to meet, interact, wine and dine.
“Our partnership with the Marriott brand enables us to reach out to all kinds of global travellers. Moreover, our guests can directly benefit from all that Marriott has to offer, such as a global loyalty program, easy booking and the meeting program, Meetings Imagined.”
Following renovation, the hotel will be the biggest in The Hague, with 306 fully renovated bedrooms including executive rooms, junior suites and the biggest Presidential Suite in the city. It will offer 18 meeting rooms, the A1 meeting room with Private Event Garden, the Great Room bar and several private dining rooms. Together with the Executive Lounge, gym and private parking space, this will be a unique venue for any event or stay.
Mr Pahlplatz added: “I believe that due to the changes we are currently making to the hotel, we will be even better-equipped than before to help our guests achieve their objectives. It is my personal objective, and that of the team, that we assist every guest in achieving their goals, be it a successful National Day, a wedding, a corporate event or dinner for two. All of this and more will be possible at The Hague Marriott.”
