Paleis Hotel
About
The Arq Paleis Hotel nestles in the heart of Den Haag’s bustling Hofkwartier, a stone’s throw from the Royal Palace, the Palatial Gardens and a host of museums and galleries. Woven into the historic walls that once housed the sister of famed author Louis Couperus, the hotel offers a unique blend of classical charm and contemporary convenience. It is designed as a ‘home away from home’, with a relaxed reception that welcomes guests to check‑in on their own and to enjoy a laid‑back lounge, a cosy café, and a delightful terrace overlooking the courtyard. Guests are greeted by friendly staff who provide attentive, personalised service in an informal and welcoming atmosphere. Self‑check‑in is facilitated through an electronic door‑code and a digital key system, allowing guests to enter their rooms without ever touching a front‑desk counter. The breakfast experience runs through the morning and into the afternoon, curated from local producers at the farm‑and‑heritage farm ‘Hoeve Biesland’ and the neighbouring “t Bakkertje”. The menu features healthy, organic breads, a selection of fresh fruit, dairy from the farm, and artisanal spreads, including jam and granola made by the sister hotel De Soete Moeder. The spread continues into the afternoon with a relaxed lunch service offering a selection of savory and sweet regional delights. The building itself is intrinsically linked to Dutch literary history: writer Louis Couperus spent his early years in the house that now houses the hotel, and visitors can explore the rooms and architecture that inspired his celebrated novels.
