What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Transforming the former headquarters of the Dutch aviation company KLM into a hotel for modern travelers feels like a fitting homage to the airline’s founder Albert Plesman.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Set beside the Scheveningse Bosjes woods, the hotel offers easy cycling distance to Scheveningen beach and the historic city centre.
The rooms
Rooms pair lofty ceilings and burnt orange tones with mid-century furniture, abstract patterns, retro radios, and walk-in rainfall showers.
The gym
Technogym equipment, free weights, and wall-mounted stall bars fill dedicated workout zones set over parquet flooring.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant Suus
European brasserie cooking is served beneath a curved mezzanine and tall windows, or out on the garden terrace.
At the table
Albert Bar pours Dutch craft beers and classic cocktails at a wooden counter lined with terracotta tile.
How it began
Aviator Albert Plesman commissioned architect Dirk Roosenburg in 1939 to construct this monumental brick headquarters for KLM Royal Dutch Airlines.
