Happy Hotelier is impressed.

Erfgoed Logies and Erfgoed Hotels

ERFGOED LOGIES

Erfgoed Logies is a Dutch association of small scale accomodations and B&B’s that share as a common denominator that they are located in historic heritage properties including historic ships. It was incorporated in 1996, initially as a vehicle to obtain EG subsidies to convert historic properties into guest accomodation.

Autumn 2004 Johan Neppelenbroek en Brigitte Bormans took over management of Erfgoedlogies.

ERFGOED HOTELS

In 2005 Erfgoed Hotels was split off as a separate association.

New websites of both associations were launched this week and will be translated into the English language in a short time.

New alliances are in the process of being concluded for both associations.
