Soon: Maastricht, Kind of Blue

Hotelroom + Cabrio
Marketing of Hotel Queen in Dutch Waalwijk is effectively handled by Femke Heinrich, a charming 28 yr old member of the very well known Dutch Van der Valk clan of Hoteliers. She created the BMW Special One or two nights stay in the hotel combined with the use of a BMW cabrio.
Dutch ladies who want to surprise their alter ego – or want to be surprised by their alter ego who regularly tend to forget to do so – love it! Reservations are never to be confirmed at the home addresses….
Update: Since posting Hotel Queen was acquired by NH Hoteles.

New in The Hague: Residenz
Petra Mallant en Frank Iwema have created a very nice 4 suite city lodge in The Hague. 15th March 2006 is their official opening. Already they became a member of »Erfgoed Logies. Their site Residenz still needs some attention. Their name sounds like excellenz. I hope they will find some time in the near future to tell us about the making of Residenz.
Erfgoed Logies and Erfgoed Hotels
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.
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.
L8ter more!.
