Hotel Des Indes is nestled in the heart of the city at the edge of a well-known leafy square (Lange Voorhout). The surrounding buildings make up the government and diplomatic district, which is quite vast in The Hague, since the city is home to a wide variety of international organisations and peacekeeping forums.

Graced by an undeniable elegance, the rooms offer a sumptuous retreat from the bustle of everyday life. A large window looks out over the city while a pair of velvet club chairs with a side table creates the perfect spot to share a light meal or cup of tea. The room's majestic canopy bed creates a dramatic focal point. The purple leather headboard and black velvet bedposts adorned with brass nail heads continue the regal theme. Painted in a hue of royal purple, the bathroom is tiled in red Portuguese tiles and features two spacious white marble vanities, a glass-enclosed rainforest shower, ample toiletries and plush bathrobes and slippers.

Located directly adjacent to the hotel’s lounge, Restaurant Des Indes combines historical splendor, an exquisite attention to detail and a world-class French menu. Elegant high ceilings are embellished with intricate gilt molding and a series of individual light bulbs – recreating the original lighting from the late 1800s. The exceptional French menu draws its inspiration from local produce and delicacies. Among the many delicious choices, the margret de canard with a cashew nut crumble and dumplings of duck rillettes and the lobster on almond blini with veal haxe and a bouquet of peppadew are not to be missed.
