Hotel Des Indes

Had an awesome experience at the hotel. From check in, to spa, to assistance with activities and a wonderful breakfast. Did not feel at all stuffy or inaccessible, but definitely indulgent. Rooms and overall property were impeccable. Large, well maintained and comfortable. Perfect location to access restaurants and activities. Made our experience in the Hague wonderful. Can't say enough good things.

What a fabulous Hotel! Rooms were generous hotel staff are amazing! Lotte and Veerle at reception desk went above and beyond to make our stay the best! Then of Course Robert the bartender shout out to him for his wonderful humour and fabulous concoctions at the bar! Of course we can’t leave Joust out in the restaurant what a funny guy! We had the most enjoyable stay the staff were amazing the room was amazing the hotel is full of wonderful stories and everything was fabulous! The area was exceptional close walking distance to everything! The breakfast included was fresh fruit and all the wonderful cheeses and eggs bacon fresh breads freshly squeezed juices etc just an excellent hotel!

My daughter & I stayed here during a bicycling tour of the Netherlands. The hotel was grand with lovely public spaces. Breakfast was delicious with many Dutch treats to choose from. Our room was luxurious and inviting with two vanity sinks in the bathroom which we, 2 ladies, appreciated. The hotel was located near a park and many embassies and easy walking distance to many shops. We found it a perfect stay for visiting The Hague!

We stayed in Hotel des Indes for two nights in a superior room during a city trip to The Hague. I knew the hotel by reputation (and it is a very nice building) but selected it mainly for its location which is excellent if you're visiting all the sights in and around The Hague (within easy walking distance of a lot of things and very near the Central Station and various tram lines). The hotel also has a pleasant atmosphere.||We arrived in the late morning and were pleasantly surprised our room was ready (well before usual check-in time). May have had something to do with the fact that I called ahead to say we would arrive at that time. The room was fine without being exceptional (pretty much what you would expect from a room in a good hotel in the centre of a major city). Only a shower and one (small) sink in the bathroom, but there is only so much you can do in an older historical building. The bed slept very well. AC worked very well. Lighting could have been better.||Staff were very friendly and helpful (also in the breakfast room and bar). Very nice breakfast buffet and a good selection of drinks in the bar. We didn't dine in the hotel (a lot of good options nearby).||A few minor points that management might consider:|-) We received a nice handwritten welcoming card in our room but this was only addressed to me (I booked the room). I would find it polite to address that to both occupants of the room.|-) The room did have two small complimentary bottles of water, but the mini-bar was completely empty. One might expect a hotel of this class to fill its mini-bar, especially if one asks a credit-card security when checking in.|-) Even in less luxurious hotels one does little things like leave a chocolate on the pillows after making up the bed.|-) Something which is apparently remarked upon quite frequently regarding hotel and restauants in the Netherlands: Some staff (only avery few here where this was the case) will continue to speak in English with you even once you've clearly addressed them in Dutch and every possible indication is that you're a native Dutch-speaker. Frankly difficult to understand why this is.||Overall a very good experience.

Just had the most incredible stay! The hotel staff went above and beyond — genuinely kind, helpful, and always with a smile. The food? Absolutely wow — every meal felt like a treat. And the location couldn’t have been more perfect — right in the heart of everything, yet peaceful and relaxing. Truly a five-star experience from start to finish!

Wonderful hotel! Spent 3 nights and really enjoyed the old world feel and first class service at the hotel. Everyone was super friendly and helpful. The room was huge with super high ceilings. It was extremely quiet (never heard any doors slamming or loud voices in the hallway so typical of so many other hotels) and so very comfortable. Dinner was excellent and so was breakfast. Honestly we hated to leave. Highly recommend you stay here if you get the chance!

An institution in The Hague. Truly exceptional. The entire hotel is just gorgeous – old, but so well maintained and preserved. Staff is excellent. Breakfast, lunch, high-tea, dinner – it’s all excellent. Rooms are carefully decorated and stylish, which is even more impressive given the old style. If you have the chance, definitely check it out.

I had long looked forward to staying at Hotel Des Indes in The Hague—a property steeped in history, elegance, and prestige. Located on the Lange Voorhout in the heart of the diplomatic quarter, the hotel has hosted royalty, dignitaries, and cultural icons for over a century. Its reputation as the Dutch counterpart to Berlin’s Hotel Adlon made me eager to experience its grandeur firsthand. Sadly, my stay turned out to be one of the most disappointing hotel experiences I’ve ever had, especially for a member of The Leading Hotels of the World.||Upon arrival, there was no assistance with our luggage. Not a single gesture of welcome or help, which already felt off for a hotel of this caliber. The receptionist informed me that I had received a generous double upgrade to an Executive Room on the top floor. What awaited me, however, was a dimly lit attic space with two small porthole windows that barely let in any daylight. It was a room that doesn’t appear anywhere on the hotel’s website or promotional materials. The furnishings were visibly worn, with scuffed surfaces, loose electrical sockets hanging partially out of the wall, and a bathroom in unacceptable condition - there was mold on the ceiling, dust everywhere, and limescale stains that hadn’t been addressed in quite some time. Housekeeping was inconsistent - turndown service was provided only once during my three-night stay, and overall cleanliness was simply not up to standard.||I raised concerns about the room’s condition and lack of daylight multiple times, but the hotel only responded shortly before my final evening, offering a room change far too late to be of use. What shocked me most, however, was the staff’s reaction to my feedback. Criticism seemed to be taken as a personal insult. After voicing my concerns again on the third morning, we were simply no longer served at breakfast. |We had to fetch our own drinks, and coffee was only brought after repeated requests. The passive attitude was deeply unprofessional and left me speechless.||Dinner service was equally disappointing. Despite only three tables being occupied in the restaurant, the staff focused exclusively on the neighboring table, which appeared to be local clientele. We were largely ignored - bread and butter were forgotten, our glasses were never refilled, and plates were placed on the table with no care or attention. The service felt inattentive and disengaged, lacking even the most basic gestures of hospitality.||Breakfast itself was served in a beautifully appointed lounge, with gilded mirrors and plush fabrics evoking the hotel’s imperial past. The selection was modest but adequate, and while basic hot dishes and fresh juice were included, more elaborate options came at an extra charge. Dinner in the same space was a rare highlight in terms of food - elegantly presented dishes with classic flavors and modern finesse - but the lack of service overshadowed the experience.||The public areas of the hotel, including the salons and historic ballroom, were visually stunning and well-preserved, and the spa offered a quiet retreat, though it was tucked away in a dimly lit cellar.||At the end of my stay, the Rooms Division Manager offered me a complimentary return night in the hotel’s Presidential Suite as compensation. I did not react to the offer on-site. After my return home, the hotel management contacted me again and proposed a free night in a Junior Suite including dinner. I responded vaguely, as I’m not going to travel a thousand kilometers for a single night. Moreover, the inconsistency between the offers from the Rooms Division Manager and the hotel’s leadership left me unsettled. It further highlighted the lack of experience in handling complaints and resolving issues professionally on-site. Other luxury properties manage such situations with far more clarity, customer orientation, and realistic solutions.||Despite its architectural beauty and rich history, Hotel Des Indes failed to deliver the hospitality and service one expects from a five-star property. The lack of luggage assistance, the poorly assigned room, the cleanliness issues, and the retaliatory behavior from staff were unacceptable. I left feeling disillusioned and disappointed. A change in leadership and a renewed commitment to excellence are urgently needed if this iconic hotel is to live up to its legacy. As it stands, it was the worst LHW hotel I’ve ever stayed in - and I’m still at a loss for words.

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.
