Why Bitter en Zoet

Sleep in a monument that shaped Dutch history

Our hotel and restaurant occupy the monumental hospital of Veenhuizen - a place that wrote a century of the Dutch story. You sleep among the original walls, corridors and windows of that story, with every comfort of today.

Living history

A national monument in the unique colony village of Veenhuizen, UNESCO World Heritage.

Food with a story

Kitchen led by Chef Peter and Sous-Chef Jos: local, organic and full of character.

Space and quiet

Green avenues, forests and silence - right outside the monument's door.
