Meetings in The Hague: Everything You Need to Know
Meetings in The Hague: Everything You Need to Know
The Hague is one of Europe's most distinguished meeting destinations, yet it remains underused compared to Amsterdam and Rotterdam. For event planners who discover it, The Hague consistently delivers with its combination of prestige, high-quality venues, excellent hotels and unique social program options. Here's everything you need to know.
Who Should Choose The Hague for a Meeting?
The Hague is an outstanding destination for anyone looking to organise a meeting, conference, or corporate event in The Netherlands. Combining international prestige with excellent accessibility, a professional business environment, and a distinctive sense of place, the city offers the ideal setting for everything from strategic board meetings and executive gatherings to large-scale conferences and international events.
As the seat of the Dutch government and home to the International Court of Justice, The Hague brings a unique sense of credibility and gravitas, while its international outlook, focus on sustainability, and vibrant business community make it equally appealing to companies, associations, and organisations of all kinds. For meeting planners seeking a destination that combines professionalism, inspiration, and Dutch hospitality, The Hague is a compelling choice.
Top Meeting Venues in The Hague
The World Forum is The Hague's flagship congress centre: flexible, well-equipped and experienced in handling international meetings of all scales. For smaller, high-level meetings, The Hague's many grand historic buildings and boutique hotel meeting rooms provide memorable and characterful settings.
Hotels in The Hague
The Hague has an excellent selection of hotels for meeting delegates, ranging from five-star properties like the Hotel des Indes, one of the Netherlands' most historic luxury hotels, to stylish contemporary options like voco The Hague or Hilton The Hague. Holland DMC Partners negotiates group rates and manages all accommodation logistics for meetings in The Hague.
Getting Delegates to The Hague
Schiphol Airport is the primary international gateway, approximately 45 minutes from The Hague by direct train. Rotterdam The Hague Airport is closer and serves a growing number of European routes. Holland DMC Partners arranges all group transfers from both airports, ensuring delegates arrive comfortably and on time.
Social Program Ideas for The Hague Meetings
The Hague's social program options are exceptional. A private tour of the Mauritshuis followed by a gala dinner is a perennial highlight. A Delft excursion, just 15 minutes away, adds an authentic Dutch cultural dimension with a Blue Tile Painting Workshop pinnacle. And Scheveningen beach, just 20 minutes from the city centre, offers a completely different experience for evening events or afternoon activities. Schevening itself is a great incentive destination on its own, but lets save that for another blog post.
