… distance to the city centre of The Hague.
The Hague is the seat of the government of the Netherlands and the capital city of the province South Holland, but it is not the capital of the Netherlands, that is Amsterdam. The city centre of The Hague is located only few kilometres away from the North Sea and it is the third-largest city of the country after Amsterdam and Rotterdam with a population of 475,500. The Hague has two seaside resorts the fashionable Scheveningen, in the northwestern part of the city and the quieter Kijkduin in the southwest. The Hague is also the home of over 150 international and national organisations, like the International Court of Justice (ICJ), the International Criminal Court (ICC) and the International Criminal Tribunal of the former Yugoslavia (ICTY).
The five star luxurious Le Méridien Hotel Des Indes is situated at the well-known Lange Voorhout, a wide leafy avenue with many historic and splendid buildings, right in the heart of the diplomatic district and within walking distance to the city centre of the Hague. The important shopping area, antique shops, theatres and world-renowned museums, like the Royal Picture Gallery Mauritshuis with works of Rembrandt and Vermeer, are located in the immediate vicinity of the hotel.
The property was originally built in the nineteenth century as the town residence of Baron Arnoud Willem van Brienen, the personal advisor of King William III. Only four years after the death of Baron van Brienen the residence was sold and soon after the sale it was converted into a luxurious hotel. This famous historical building was completely renovated in 2005 by the renowned interior designer Jacques Garcia. The majestic foyer of this ultra-chic hotel is decorated with colossal marble columns and a magnificent drop shaped crystal chandelier reflecting the glorious past of Le Méridien Hotel Des Indes.
The 92 guestrooms inclusive of 13 suites were renovated to their former splendour by the famous star decorator Jacques Garcia and each room combines tradition with contemporary comfort and luxury.
Since 1881 the exclusive Restaurant DesInDes with Lounge and Bar welcomes guests from all around the world and today guests can enjoy outstanding and innovative cuisine with French inspiration in an elegant and luxurious ambience.
