4-star hotels in Doorn
This shortlist covers the 4-star hotels and guesthouses in Doorn, a small town on the Utrechtse Heuvelrug. It is for travellers who want a comfortable base for walking, cycling and visiting the Utrecht region, whether for a weekend or a longer stay.
Staying in Doorn
Doorn sits on the Utrechtse Heuvelrug, a wooded ridge of dunes and forest that draws walkers and cyclists from across the Netherlands. The town itself is small and quiet, with a compact centre, and the surrounding landscape of estates, lanes and heath makes it a place for slow days outdoors rather than city sightseeing. The four properties on this shortlist are all 4-star and all lie along the roads leading into and through Doorn. They are spread rather than clustered: Landgoed Zonheuvel stands on Amersfoortseweg, Berghut on Oude Woudenbergseweg, Private Garden House on Acacialaan and B&B La 'Petite Bergerie' on De Geer Van Jutfaaslaan. That means a car is useful, though all four offer free parking.
