Once the residence of the Governor of Amsterdam, this is a smart, welcoming city centre hotel, with small rear garden and very well appointed rooms, all of differing décor and various categories.

Created in a slightly wild landscape of pine, hawthorn hedges, silver birch and poplar trees, the Zoute fairways navigate between waves of dunes: a setting that cannot leave anyone unmoved. Another Colt classic. Greens noted for their quality and a comfortable clubhouse are just two of the attractive features of this golf club.

A true links course, which is over 100 years old, laid out on a narrow strip of land beside the North Sea. History tells of its destruction twice, in each World War.
