Overnight in the monument
Including breakfast buffet
Sleep between the original walls of the 1893 hospital and start the day with an extensive breakfast buffet.
The story
Coming home inside a monument
In January and February Veenhuizen grows quiet. The avenues are bare, the sky hangs low, and when it snows the entire Colony looks enchanting. Exactly the time to slow down.
We transform the hotel into a cosy place that feels like coming home: warm lights, a crackling fire, blankets on the couch and the smell of something freshly baked from the kitchen.
Surround yourself with history, nature and hopefully a beautiful winter landscape. During the day you step straight from our monument into the museum or the countryside; in the evening you take a seat for a menu by head chef Peter and his brigade.
Winter in Veenhuizen is pure magic: snow on the monuments, silence in the avenues and a warm fire waiting for you.
