Utrecht

Van der Valk Hotel Houten-Utrecht stands on the Hoofdveste in Houten, a short run south of Utrecht and close to the A27, in a town best known nationally as the most cycle-friendly place in the Netherlands.

The hotel holds 207 rooms, and the product is a genuine step above the usual regional standard: alongside comfort and deluxe categories there are four-person family rooms, Junior Wellness suites, and themed suites finished with murals, chandeliers and open fireplaces. The hotel also has an indoor swimming pool and its own restaurant.

Utrecht city centre and its canals are about fifteen minutes away, and the Kromme Rijn countryside and the Hollandse Waterlinie forts start on the doorstep, which gives an accompanying programme something to work with beyond the city.

Van der Valk Hotel Houten Utrecht – themed suite

Van der Valk Hotel Houten-Utrecht carries a full conference floor built around a congress hall that seats a plenary audience in theatre style, supported by classroom-configured meeting rooms and a boardroom for executive sessions.

What sets the building apart is its circulation space. A colonnaded foyer and a second foyer with dramatic feature lighting give a conference proper room to break, register and network rather than spilling into a corridor, and they work equally well for a drinks reception before dinner.

With 207 bedrooms, an indoor pool and a restaurant on the same site, a residential conference or a multi-day incentive can run without moving delegates, and the position just off the A27 makes it straightforward to reach by road from across the centre of the country.

The number of halls and the per-setup capacities are being confirmed with the hotel and have deliberately been left out rather than estimated.
