Quality Lodgings welcomes eight new hotels

Quality Lodgings (QL), the European collection of independent quality hotels, welcomes eight new members. This brings the selection to 126 hotels across eight countries, including 74 in the Netherlands. Each new addition has its own identity, yet they all share the same essence: authentic hospitality, culinary craftsmanship, and a distinct sense of character and experience.

The new members include four Dutch and four international addresses, ranging from a boutique hotel in the heart of Utrecht to a castle in the Ardennes. The expansion reflects the growing appeal of Quality Lodgings for travellers who value the genuine quality of independent hospitality. The new members strengthen this mission, each in their own way. 

“It is inspiring to see how many new hoteliers identify with our mission to give authentic hospitality a future,” says Pauline Verhoef, Managing Director of Quality Lodgings. “We are proud to provide a stage for their stories and their unique identity.”
