Palace for relaxation
Stadspaleis OldRuitenborgh
Historic Vollenhove is perhaps one of the best kept secrets of the eastern Netherlands. For centuries, fishermen set sail from the harbour on what was once the open sea, but today is an inland waterway – the little town has been enveloped by reclaimed land. In the 17th century, Vollenhove had no fewer than 17 stately manor houses, which earned it the name ‘City of Palaces’. Stadspaleis Hotel Old Ruitenborgh is one of the last remaining ‘city palaces’, and dates from the 14th century. The palace is set in beautiful English landscape gardens, and the interior of the restaurant and guestrooms is in appropriate style: grand chandeliers, marble fireplaces and wooden floors, combined with paintings that remind you of the rich history of the estate. There are 14 stylish guestrooms and various reception and meeting rooms. The restaurant offers an atmospherically historical setting to get together with family, friends or colleagues.
