located in the embassy quarter of the city centre, offers 195 bedrooms, many of which have views over the grand cityscape. Interior design influences for the hotel

metre high sculpted sand wall. The Grand Café is based on the paintings of Dutch artist Johannes Vermeer, realised with modern columns and a 17th Century lace pattern with complementing chandeliers. Vermeer’s painting ‘Girl with a Pearl Earring’ is on display at the local Mauritshuis Museum, a 15 minute walk from the hotel. With soft, colourful lighting effects, the painting forms the basis of the design of the restaurant interior, decorations and tableware. The influences of another famous Dutch painter, Mesdag, play a key role in the design of the ballroom, where Mesdag ‘skies’ and colours complement the functionality of the space. The public areas reflect the splendour of the


era, realised with contemporary materials and design techniques. The upscale Bar Lutine is named after the famous French Warship ‘La Lutine’. The hotel also has ten meeting rooms including the Mesdag Ballroom, with a maximum capacity of 400 guests, and an atrium designed for pre-event functions.
