View from the bedroom of De Zee suite
A lakeside boutique hotel frayed by tall grasses, laundered linen whispering in the wind and a row of gabled, clapboard houses in misty hues skirting along the water’s edge. Here is a time-stood-still hamlet, home to a handful of former fisherfolk, charming architecture, sail boats, coots, and our new hotel and restaurant.

Our private collection of wine is reason enough to spend time in the Wine Snug, perusing our wide-ranging selection of world-class vintages.

Need a place to sneak down to for a meeting, or 1:1 talk with a collegue? Where De Mark was designed to facilitate liveness and the rooms of De Durgerdam to provide respite and a place to retreat, the drawing room combines best of both worlds. Here you can retreat to lowest part of the historical building to relax while hearing the buzz in the distance of what’s happening upstairs. Or use it as a space to have a drink before dinner or a break between meetings, or a night cap.
Boating is a great way to experience and discover both Amsterdam and Durgerdam from the water. A transfer from anywhere possible to De Durgerdam is a memorable one. Hop on board on our historic saloon boat De Eeuw (1905) and enjoy the ride. De Eeuw was used as a management ship of the Royal Dutch Steamboat Company (KNSM) for the daily management of crossings and special trips with guests. We are sure that your group will enjoy this!

Once the lively hub of the fishing village, its light had begun to fade. We’ve revived the building in which the De Durgerdam sits for a bright new future by taking bones from the past, creating an idyll for today, whilst safeguarding the building for over 250 years. Achieving this is a process and requires several actions in all different stages from development to operations. Some are related to the building, some related to our people and the experience we offer, but all equally important.
We like to consider ourselves forerunners in sustainability. So that means doing better wherever we can. Lowering emissions is key, from the big, focal areas like heat pumps, solar panels, the reusage of 150.000 liters of water, a composting machine, and gas-free heat to the little details like our herb garden, insect hotel and the repurposed upholstery on the chair you sink into, wondering why it’s just so comfortable. And although we won’t ever sit back and relax when it comes to sustainability we may change and grow within this innovative field – because fluidity and flexibility are the core tools we will need to do better. We don’t see it as a choice; this is the only way forward. We hope you’ll join us on our journey.
