Freedom Hotel
Hotel de Wereld
Hotel de Wereld in Wageningen is one of the most famous hotels in the Netherlands. It was here, in 1945, that the German capitulation took place—a moment of great historical significance. A stay at Hotel de Wereld feels like walking through an important chapter of Dutch history. However, the hotel’s history goes back even further, to 1669, when the inn ‘De Wearelt’ served as a stopover for travelers and stagecoaches, later becoming a station for horse-drawn and steam trams. The hotel features a contemporary lobby and a cozy sitting area, where guests can use the self-check-in while the team is always ready to welcome you warmly and personally. The ‘Hotel of Freedom’ has a total of 17 hotel rooms, each with a modern and atmospheric design. The story of this hotel, which has existed since 1852, is beautifully present in all rooms through the tales of World Freedom Fighters. Each room tells a personal story—of Banksy, Astrid Lindgren, Lady Liberty, Nelson Mandela, and many others. They all have one thing in common: each has fought for freedom in their own way. Choose your favorite—you can request a specific room preference. For lunch, coffee, and drinks, you are welcome in the lounge or conservatory of Hotel de Wereld, where a relaxed atmosphere and hospitality take center stage. Hotel de Wereld is also an excellent base for hiking and cycling trips through the nature reserves of the Veluwe and the Betuwe, or for a visit to the vibrant city of Wageningen. The nearby city of Arnhem offers a rich cultural and shopping experience.
