2 Best Hotels in The Hague, Netherlands

A beautiful, secluded garden and light, airy rooms with wooden floorboards and all the modern conveniences add to the charms of an 1858 building that retains plenty of Art Nouveau detailing, in place since the property first opened as a hotel in 1912—architecture buffs won't want to miss its fabulous five-story brick-and-stone stairway. Another perk is the setting in lovely Molenstraat, a boutique- and café-busy street with a bohemian feel.

In the stylish Duinoord neighborhood, this luxurious and friendly bed-and-breakfast occupies an elegant 1895 town house that was once the residence of the Spanish consulate. Rooms are individually decorated and sumptuously appointed in a chic blend of old and new styles—some even come with working fireplaces for those cold North Sea winter evenings.
