Best hotels in Hilversum
A shortlist of Hilversum hotels for travellers choosing where to sleep in this media town east of Amsterdam, from a lake-side 3-star with the highest guest score to a large 4-star with the most reviews.
Staying in Hilversum
Hilversum is a town of broadcasting studios and green, wooded edges rather than a big-city centre, so visitors tend to pick a hotel by which side of town they want to be on. The hotels here sit on different approaches: two on the western and northern roads out towards the woods and the water, one in the streets around Emmastraat, and one further out along the Nigtevechtseweg. That spread matters more than a single downtown cluster.
Couples and short-break visitors looking for the smallest, best-scored place should look at De Nederlanden, which combines a 3-star class with a guest rating of 4.7 from 378 reviews and has an outdoor pool on site. Families and groups wanting space, parking and a wide range of facilities are better served by the 4-star Van der Valk Hotel Hilversum De Witte Bergen, the largest of the group with 4071 reviews, while Gooiland Hotel and Amrath Hotel Lapershoek Arenapark offer straightforward 4.0-4.1 rated stays for business trips and weekend visits.
