Midday momentum: Dining, wellness, and the rhythm of your day
Dining guidance you can taste
Restaurant De Baron offers two ways to dine: classical catering and freshly prepared à la carte dishes. The kitchen works with honest, local products—everything is prepared fresh and with care. If you like to preview your options, head to the Menukaart in the Restaurant section before you sit down. Prefer a different atmosphere? De Patio is another inviting dining area to consider.
Wellness made simple
After a morning on the road or in meetings, easing into the SPA can reset your day. Hotel guests have free access to the swimming pool, sauna and Turkish steam bath; the team will point you there and advise on solarium access if you’d like (available at an extra fee). Pack swimwear to take full advantage.
Staying productive
Whether you’re working from your room or finding a quiet corner in a public space, complimentary Wi‑Fi keeps your day moving. Need clarity on the best spot for a call or a quick printout? The front desk is your first, fastest route to an answer.
Business ready: Meetings and events with confidence
With 16 multifunctional rooms, the hotel flexes to your agenda—whether you’re hosting a board meeting, a symposium, or a celebration. Personal service here means anticipating what organizers and attendees need to feel prepared and comfortable.
Meeting packages that make planning easier
Explore Vergaderarrangementen (meeting packages) to combine room hire with catering and equipment. The front desk helps direct you to the right package information and ensures attendees know the essentials on arrival: room location, Wi‑Fi access and refreshment points. If you’re traveling as an attendee, you’ll find the same attentive guidance—so you can focus on the program, not the logistics.
Late afternoon to evening: Settle in and savor
Nature nearby, comfort within reach
Being situated at the edge of the Veluwe means you’re close to one of the Netherlands’ most cherished nature areas. If you want local tips on time‑friendly strolls or nearby highlights, ask the team and check the OMGEVING section for ideas.
Dinner your way
Back at Restaurant De Baron, choose a leisurely à la carte experience or opt for classical catering, depending on your plans. Fresh, locally sourced ingredients and careful preparation are the through‑lines—flavor you can trust.
Unwind before tomorrow
Many guests cap the day with a relaxing visit to the SPA—swimming pool, sauna, and Turkish steam bath are complimentary for hotel guests. It’s an easy, restorative close to your "Shift to Shine."

Direct booking tip
Due to recent issues some travelers have experienced with third‑party prepayments, we recommend booking directly with the hotel. If a third‑party prepayment cannot be claimed on the day of arrival, the hotel may charge at check‑in and you would request a refund from the third party. Booking direct helps avoid this friction.
