voco - Kneuterdijk 8 will be set in a beautiful building located in the city centre of The Hague that formerly housed a bank. The hotel will be in close proximity to the town's famous sights, several museums, parks and the shopping mile.
Launched in June 2018, voco — inspired by the meaning 'to invite' or to 'come together' in Latin — combines the informality and charm of an individual hotel with the quality and reassurance of a global and respected brand. The signing of voco The Hague - Kneuterdijk 8 follows the recent openings of the first three voco hotels in the world — voco Gold Coast in Australia, voco Cardiff and voco Solihull in the UK - and continuing the strong momentum for IHG's newest upscale brand in Europe.
With a listed façade dating from the 1920s and an expansive atrium, the property is quite an impressive sight to behold - naturally, all historic features will be retained and very carefully renovated. Inside, the hotel will be no less awe-inspiring - containing more than 200 exquisite rooms and suites.
The new voco The Hague combines a very laid-back comfort, a relaxed approach and individual hospitality - which will be evident in both the culinary offerings of the hotel, and in every aspect of the Kneuterdijk 8 location. It will have direct access to the pedestrian area of Noordeinde welcoming tourists and locals alike. After its completion in 2020, the new hotel will serve as an exceptional meeting point for all, becoming a centre for travellers as well as a very accessible gastronomic and life-style hotspot.
