The Happier the Hotelier, The Happier the Guest
Health is a hot issue. Spas grow as mushrooms. This spring in Chodova Plana, Czech republic, the Hotel U Sladka with 7 Victorian beer baths opened in a local beer factory. Delicious Victorian frothing beer bathing in special local brew dark beer! See the Youtube Video

According to the Hague City edition of the Dutch Paper AD (stands for Algemeen Dagblad or Daily General) a nine room hotel is in the process of being developed by a temporary association of artists Optrek, which accompanies the total redesign of the The Hague Transvaal Quarter. The hotel will have rooms with star rating varying from 1 to 5 stars. The concept is from Ral2005.
The key can be picked up at the local cigar shop. It is the question how long it will last, because the cigar shop must disappear because of the demolition of the shop which is anticipated shortly. In addition the couple who manages the shop, wants to stop with the shop. In the weekend of 25 and 26 June there will be a trial run.
Postscript 28 June 2006:
According to an article in the AD of last Monday it was only intended to open the Hotel just for one night..to attract public attention for the rebuilding of the Transvaal Quarter and sponsors to further the development of the hotel….
Vollenhove is world famous for its Royal Huisman shipyard where the world’s largest schooners (the photo is of one of them, Athena, built by Royal Huisman) and cutters are being built and/or refit.
The Vintagegroup offered accomodation in “Stadshavezate Plattenburg” (a sort of city palace) in Vollenhove in combination with a vintage Triumph or Lotus, or a vintage 1955 Van der Stadt design mahogony yacht. They also offered an oportunity to buy antique.
Update: It seems they are not in business anymore.

»Bourgogne Suite(s?) in Maastricht offers 4 suites. They opened end 2005 and are opulently decorated. They don’t offer cabrio’s, new nor vintage, but have a motoryacht available to sightsee and potter over the Maas river.
Thanks to Marlies of »Vakantiehuis Blogo I now know there are more promotions of sleeping and touring is an unusual car:
B&B »Lodewijk XV (yes, Louis the fifteenth) offers a bed in combination with a day’s driving a classic MG TD of 1953 or a MG TF of 1955 (see photo).
