Hotel Des Indes

I had a wonderful stay at this beautiful hotel. It was my anniversary of 1 year with my boyfriend and decided to spend a weekend in The Hague. What a great hotel and what a lovely and attentive staff! Upon arrival we were welcomed by a complementary bottle of champagne in our room to make our stay even more memorable. An iconic hotel that blends past history perfectly with modern comfort. I will definitely come back!

Hotel des Indes is a special place! Once you step through the door into the very impressive entree you're greeted by the most friendly and welcoming staff you will ever meet. |The hotel feels warm, calm, friendly and inviting. |We stayed on the third floor looking over a large part of the Hague. Our room was huge and very clean. The bathroom with bath and separate shower was beautiful and spotless.|Our Bed was the best we ever had in a hotel! Had a greaght sleep. The food and service are of according standards.||To be honest the whole experience was awesome! From the moment you park your car till the moment the doorman closes your car door and wishes you a pleasant trip!|We had a greaght time and will surely stay at the Hotel des Indes again!

The Hotel des Indes is exceptional in every respect. Great accommodations with spacious, clean comfortable rooms. The bed was one of the most comfortable we had slept on our whole trip - we didn’t want to leave! Wonderful, attentive, friendly staff, and first food. The hotel is conveniently located close to the city center and has parking just outside across the street. There is a big, open park with lots of benches and trees along the street which adds to the charm of the location.

Des Indes brings you back to the glory days of travelling and staying in hotels. When walking towards this hotel from Lange Voorhout the grandeur invites you to discover its secrets. Professional staff at the entrance welcomes you and when walking further you go back in time. What a splendour and magnificence. Please do visit the restaurant and enjoy its ambience, beautiful ceiling and menu. Yes it is not cheap, but worth till the end! I did not take photos because I felt that would be inappropriate in this hotel.

Very helpful and friendly staff. Excellent dinner in the Lounge, top quality breakfast, relaxing afternoon pause with tea and cakes. Had very spacious suite with elegant decor. Superb facilities overall. Very efficient and useful valet parking.

I had an excellent stay in this charming hotel. Comfortable, well-appointed room, friendly and helpful staff. There are excellent options for breakfast, both buffet and a la carte from a menu. Good location with easy walking to restaurants, museums, and the train station. It was my second time staying here, and I plan to return.

Nice hotel but BEWARE!! Do NOT use the Spa! AVOID THE SPA!!!! I recently visited the spa at Hotel des Indes, and I must say, it was a disappointing experience that fell far short of expectations. We had an appointment at 10 AM and were the first ones to use the sauna and pool areas, but unfortunately, that still did not mean it was clean and inviting. Upon arrival, we were met with an alarming lack of hospitality; no one greeted us at the front desk, which set a negative tone right from the start. As for the treatments, I was less than impressed. The massages and facials were subpar, leaving much to be desired. To make matters worse, the same oil was used on both my face and body, which felt unprofessional and unsanitary. It was obvious training was lacking. The overall state of disrepair and lack of cleanliness was disheartening; the spa seemed to be crying out for a much-needed update. The ambiance, which could have been soothing, felt neglected and tired. It's hard to believe that this spa is part of a hotel with such a rich history. Apparently the Spa is not managed by the hotel, per the hotel staff. Another glaring omission was the absence of warm drinks; I would have appreciated at least a cup of hot water with a teabag, but there was nothing offered. Overall, the experience was far from what one would expect from a luxury spa. The attached pictures speak more than a thousand words, illustrating the disarray and lack of care evident throughout the facility. I would not recommend this spa unless significant improvements are made.

This hotel sets you back in time but still it feels like coming home. The atmosphere in the hotel brings you to another planet, very relaxing. Enjoy the service and go out to see the art in Den Hague, at walking distance Panorama Mesdag and Escher museum.

Beautiful hotel in The Hauge in a great location. Right near the Escher museum and Christmas market. A 10 minute walk from the main shopping area and restaurants. If you're looking for a traditional, older hotel feel, then this is the spot for you. Breakfast Breakfast was included with our stay so we went every morning. The dining room is beautiful. They have coffee/lattes and juice. You can order food off the menu like omelettes and pancakes, or go to the breakfast area which has many types of oatmeal, fruit, yogurt, croissants, bread, jams, scrambled eggs and sausage. Accomodations We had one of the smaller rooms which was very old school and had a small balcony (small enough where you could open the doors, but not go outside). TV has some British news channels in English. The bathroom was small but very nice. Service/staff Everyone was wonderful!

Hotel des Indes has the name and I decided to stay here for the first time. The location is great, the hotel looks lovely inside and out and the service is good. I had a number of comfortable nights sleep. Why not 5 stars? The room could have been a bit bigger (although the bathroom was huge), there could be more light in the room and the furniture could be a bit more suitable as a proper workdesk.

After a morning of exploring Delft and a visit to Escher in the Palace before going to the Mauritshuis for the remainder of the afternoon. What better way to break than a visit to the restaurant at the Hotel Des Indes for a mini-afternoon tea (no tea, no shade ha). I remember I first heard of this hotel after seeing it in the 'Feels So Good' video with Armin van Buuren and Nadia Ali. I definitely wanted to experience the charm of this hotel as i saw on YouTube. I walked into the hotel and proceed to the restaurant. The service was attentive and I thought I'd order a plate of the Petite Fours accompanied by a double shot of espresso because I knew it was going to be a long day along with my fantastic meal at Little Vs. It was such a pleasant experience all for the price of a cocktail. There were maybe several other parties in the restaurant. I just sat there for half an hour and soaked up the ambiance of the hotel as if I was a guest staying at the hotel. Afterwards, I headed over to the Mauritshuis to see Vermeer's Girl with a Pearl Earring. It was an afternoon where I felt a bit sophisticated and cultured.

My boyfriend and I stayed here for 7 nights on vacation. We arrived earlier then the check in time, tired from our long trip, we were accommodated without any issue. The hotel is beautiful and extremely well kept. The buffet breakfast is out of this world and varied slightly everyday which we both really liked. The turndown service was really nice and bottles of complimentary water were left in our room daily. The hotel staff is very helpful. They booked us a taxi through a car service they use from the hotel to Amsterdam. The driver was very professional and gave us great tips on what to do in Amsterdam. We had drinks at the hotel bar twice when we got back from dinner. Each time, we say they served a healthy platter of olives, crisp and some mixed nuts to snack on which were really nice. The cocktails are made with such skill you could equate them to a nice mixology cocktails. On Sunday and Thursday there was a lovely antique market right outside the hotel. They had a couple food venders as well. This hotel is in the best location. You will never be bored, there is so much to do in and outside the hotel.

The Good: :: service is top notch, start to finish :: hotel is very well kept :: status with SPG is recognized and I was given a room upgrade that was ginormous. the bathroom was ginormous. i felt like royalty being in that huge suite. :: wifi works very well :: location is fantastic---close to some incredible restaurants and boutique stores. in addition to that, you are right off of the Lange Voorhout, which like the Dutch answer to the Champs Elysees. this area is especially gorgeous in autumn. you cannot miss out! :: heated bathroom floors. wut. :: luxurious amenities in the room and bathroom The Bad: :: none The Ugly: :: none Would I go back? 100% yes. You can't ask for a more elegant hotel experience than this hotel while in the Hague! This place is IN.

Places like Hotel Des Indes are the reason I never stay at AirB&B: I'm a sucker for fancy hotels and luxuriating next to chandeliers and plush velvet. Beautiful neighbourhood and within walking distance of the stunning Binnenhof and my favourite museum in Den Hauge, Mauritshuis. Buffet breakfast is THE BEST. They even serve salad for breakfast. SALAD! Whether you partake in breakfast greens or not, the spread is impressive. Several types of fish and delicious cheese, along with all the typical breakfast foods. They change it up day to day, so staying here for a week was well worth it. Checking in was a bit slow, but overall the service was good and face cloths, tea, and coffee was replenished daily. Staff tend to be hands off (not overly chatty or conversational), but that seems to be a Dutch thing, so I won't fault them for it.

This a very nice hotel. This hotel is about a 10 minute walk from almost everything. The rooms are very classy. This is a great place to stay.

Great hotel in an amazing neighborhood in Den Haag. My room was excellent and had everything I needed for a restful and comfortable stay. Friendly and helpful concierge too. Very close to the shops and cafes on Denneweg, and the Sunday Antiek & Boeken Markt and food trucks!

Sweet hotel. Luxury for sure until our window kept opening during s early morning storm. It was because the wood was rotted where the lock fits in. Next evening went to the bar and waited 10 minutes and left. Nobody helped me. I hate that. Often at times they don't multi task in Europe. Not because they can't, its because they choose not to. This bar is a perfect example.

Having been fortunate to stay in a few other SPG Luxury Collection Hotels (Hotel Pulitzer; Amsterdam; Hotel Alfonso, Seville; Sheraton Algarve, Albufeira) , I have to say that the Hotel Des Indes was one of my favorites. Due to the snow our arrival to the hotel was severely delayed and we didn't check-in until after 11pm. But the lateness of the hour did not hinder the friendliness of the hotel staff, Caroline at reception was wonderful, she even escorted us to the elevator. We were upgraded to an executive room on the 4th floor (423), the SPG floor. At first it was a bit of a challenge to find our room since the room numbers were written on vases to the right of the doors. My wife & I had a good laugh about that since we wandered the halls for a few minutes looking for our number. The room far exceeded my expectations. But the real star was the bathroom, what can I say, I'm a HUGE fan of heated floors! Room service was great too. There is a limited 24hr dining menu but the selections should appeal to most. We tried the pizza (w salami & mushrooms) and the tempura prawns. When I placed the order the staff member apologized that it would take 30-45 minutes to arrive, but I think it took less time than that for our food to arrive. We passed the time waiting for our room service in the elegant hotel bar. Drinks are pricey (approx €14 for most cocktails) but the ambience and décor of the lobby make up for the price. The cocktail menu seems like a journey back in time featuring unique and delicious old school drinks. The Hotel Des Indes is a wonderful member of the Luxury Collection. Thanks for a great stay.

So this place is awesome. Hotel Des Indes is part of the luxury hotels of the world collection, as it rightly should be. The hotel is situated adjacent to the US Embassy and the MC Escher Museum, and sits in front of a gigantic park used for craft markets every weekend. The main areas of the Hague including the government and the Kings House are a short walk away, and you are, in every single direction, only minutes (by foot) to a plethora of bars, restaurants, and unique shopping stores. The hotel has a small valet parking lot, a doorman/valet to greet, and a historic yet modern decor. It feels as if you'd find Winston Churchill himself eating dinner in the restaurant. The rooms are gorgeous and well adorned; and even the bed gives you the feeling of luxury. The hotel has a very friendly/proactive staff, great food (although, of course, somewhat expensive), and a modern gym with swimming pool/spa. What more could you ask for in the heart of downtown Den Haag? I will definitely stay here again. A single con.... 1. The Free Internet is SLOW (you can purcahse fast internet, 5MB/s, for around 20Euro a day).

Nicely located in the Hague butting up against an active nightlife. The hotel has a fantastic old European classic feel to it and is well kept. My room was very small but it's Europe so that is to be expected. Temperature control was an issue in my room and I could never get my room cool enough and it was December. I would definitely stay here again; you are walking distance to great restaurants and major highways.

This is the oldest hotel in the Hague, and the grandest. As you approach you will see a large yellow building with vibrant letters. The door men greet you each time, and are exceptionally polite. The hotel staff (front desk) are all simply the nicest people. Extremely cheerful, pleasant and helpful. The hotel is in the center of Den Haag (Hague) and you can literally walk within 2-4 minutes and reach some of the most amazing dining experiences in Holland. The breakfast, which comes with the room price is exquisite and again, the staff is just so warm and accommodating. I stayed there for 2 weeks on business, so I got to experience the hotel in its entirety and will be staying there again in just under a week.

Beautiful hotel - old world and very ornate. In a very quiet area with nice shops and restaurants all within walking distance. Located very close to American Embassy however it's in process of moving soon. Staff is wonderful - friendly and very helpful. Cab ride to Amsterdam is about 45 minutes to a hour depending on time of day - $85 through hotel. Walking distance to train - about a hour.

Where do I begin with this review? Do I start with the decor and stately manner of this hotel? Do I start with the exceptional service and amenities? No...I'll begin with a less than likely place...the bed. You travel quite a bit and love the Westin beds? Pffft. You have an uber expensive bed at home that you love? You'll want to go back home and set it on fire. The bed here was one of the best beds I've ever been in. With the possible exception of Claudia Schiffer ever joining me, this was an experience where I never wanted to leave the bed. Yes, the hotel is expensive. Yes, the area is beautiful. Yes, there are other hotels in Den Haag. All are true, but if you're looking for an experience that is hard to top, stay at the Des Indes. I know I will anytime I am in The Hague.

What an amazing stay. Brought my beautiful wife to Hotel Des Indes for Valentine's Day. It's not a cheap place, but in the off season it's a great value and quite possibly the most attractive room I've ever stayed in. Romantic, and a wonderful historic bar. Perfect location, walkable to restaurants and attractions. Beautiful.

Hotel des Indes is an icon in the Hague. The grandeur of the 19th century still shimmers through. Very nice and authentic decor and great quality cuisine! Perfectly located in the historic centre of the Hague in walking distance to everything ... houses of Parliament, Royal palaces and of course shopping. The Denneweg, adjacent to the hotel is one of the hippest streets for wining and dining and has been so for years. The hotel also has great conference facilities. Don't be surprised to bump into celebrities here, be it from the political, diplomatic or high society circles.

Beautiful and historic hotel in a very central location to sights, restaurants, shopping. Rooms are grand and beautiful. You feel like you've stepped into a different era. Breakfast buffet has a large selection n am elegant room.

WES ANDERSON FANS this is not a setting, that I know of, but it's the kind of treat for the eyes that his films are. I'm expecting Anjelica Houston to appear around every corner. Anyway, I'm sitting in the lounge right now having tea. Staying here has been worth every penny I have splurged and every minute I have lingered in the lounge, bar, or casually writing or listening to music at one of the little tables on the second floor. I was only intending to stay in Den Haag two nights but I'm going on my fourth now and likely stretching to a 5th. This is a superior alternative to staying in Amsterdam, and the only place to stay in Den Haag is Hotel Des Indes. Even if it's out of your price range, consider splurging and treating yourself for a night, it's a terrific experience. Everything is done just right and you won't be disappointed.

So let's be clear, this is a very comfortable very luxurious hotel and you would have to be rather spoilt not to like it or appreciate its benefits. That said, when you're travelling on business there are certain things you need. This hotel is not ideal for the business traveller who has any work to get done. Bed super comfy, and the room was very quiet. But desk space in the bedroom is inadequate for working. Gym is just about adequate but I've seen much better in lower priced hotels than this. But it has a full dumbbell collection and a few well maintained and clean machines, so you can do a reasonable workout - it's just a bit small that's all. Pool is no use for anyone who can actually swim - it's one of those endless pools and it's just not fast enough for somebody who does laps often. I'm sure the spa facilities are great, they looked great, but I didn't use them. There is no hot tub. The Wi-Fi works well. The restaurant is poor value for money for both breakfast and other meals & snacks. The breakfast buffet, while fairly comprehensive, is €31. The Hilton up the street has a much better breakfast buffet for €22, and various places in walking distance will do a great breakfast for €15. Generally, service at this hotel is extremely polite, bordering on obsequious, but is not in any kind of hurry. The Hotel is very well situated for walking around The Hague. Stay here if you on a luxurious vacation, are sightseeing in The Hague, on Honeymoon, or, want things old, historic and fancy. If you are a SPG or Marriott member and/or have some work to get done, or, like things modern and effective, you might be better to stay in the Marriott north of The Hague center and ride the tram into the city, which takes only minutes.

Fantastic historic hotel . The facilities are generally nice . Why not 5 stars? It was sweltering in my room even with the windows open; house keeping kept closing the and I would return to a room nearly 80 F. Although there was a thermostat, it didn't seem to control the heating. The common space was saturated with over application of perfume and cigarette and cigar smoke. Lastly it was a bit far from the action or alternative dining. 32 euro is steep for a breakfast buffet.
