Traditional hospitality and innovative technology. Small-scale luxury and personal attention. With the launch of Arq Hotels, the newest boutique hotel group in the Netherlands has become a fact. What started with the purchase of the Paleis Hotel in The Hague in September, grew earlier this month into a collection of two with the addition of Kloosterhotel de Soete Moeder in Den Bosch. In this way, Arq Hotels doubled in size in a short period of time – and it doesn't stop there. The focus of the group is on growth, with a portfolio of twenty boutique hotels as an ambitious goal. The management is headed by Nicoline Montanus, who worked for Eden Hotels for many years.
Homely at the highest level
The Paleis Hotel in The Hague is the very first Arq Hotel. This four-star boutique hotel has 24 rooms and is located in the heart of the historic Hofkwartier, close to Noordeinde Palace. The history of the monumental building dates back to well into the 17th century , from secret doors and sealed passageways to the vibrant source of inspiration for writer Louis Couperus. The hotel is currently closed for a major renovation; it will reopen its doors in mid-April for a new phase in its intriguing existence. Convenience and luxury go hand in hand at Arq Hotels, with digital room keys, ultra-comfortable beds, and always personal attention. Boutique hospitality here stands for a cozy and homey feeling at the highest level.
Heart-warming hospitality
Is there anything more relaxing than sleeping in a monastery? With the addition of Kloosterhotel de Soete Moeder, the newest Dutch hotel group has a special location. This three-star hotel also has 24 rooms and is located in a unique spot in the heart of Den Bosch – an oasis of peace and yet right in the city centre. With the combination of innovative technological gadgets and heart-warming hospitality, it fits seamlessly into the Arq concept. The hotel is also characterised by its social mission. Inclusive entrepreneurship, in keeping with the spirit of the times in which people with a distance to the labour market are part of the business operations.
Hospitality of the future
Nicoline Montanus, Director of Arq Hotels, on the new hotel group: “We are off to a flying start, as you might call it. In just over a year, our group consists of two boutique hotels, we have established a beautiful concept, and we are in talks with potential new additions. The current Arq Hotels are both unique places where luxury and comfort go hand in hand with automation and technology. With us, you get all the facilities you dream of: perfect beds, excellent service, and a wonderful home-away-from-home feeling. Everything you need, without having to ask for it. With Arq Hotels, we offer the hospitality of the future.”
