Unique meeting locations at Van der Valk
New ideas require a different environment
An inspiring meeting starts with a location that fits what you want to achieve. Are you looking for a setting that surprises participants, brings new insights, and provides new energy, rather than a traditional meeting room? Discover the unique meeting locations at Van der Valk.
Within the Van der Valk network, you will find locations for a wide range of business meetings. Organize a strategy session in a quiet environment, give a presentation on a professional stage, or combine your meeting with an activity, dinner, or overnight stay. This way, the location becomes more than just the backdrop to the day and enhances the focus, interaction, and impact of your meeting.
An inspiring meeting location that suits your purpose
An inspiring meeting location supports both the purpose and the flow of your meeting. A unique setting helps participants to distance themselves from their daily work environment and fully focus on the program. This makes inspiring meetings suitable for, among other things, off-site sessions, brainstorming days, training sessions, executive meetings, kick-offs and multi-day programs.
The most suitable environment varies from one meeting to another. For a strategy day, a green or quiet location can provide the right setting. A theater or cinema adds extra impact to a presentation or product launch. A location with a terrace, panoramic view, or striking architecture adds atmosphere and experience to a team day, network event or corporate event.
What makes a meeting location special?
A unique meeting location distinguishes itself not just by its appearance. The space must align with the purpose of the meeting and offer the facilities needed to support the programme. Think of suitable room setups, audio-visual equipment, possibilities for breakout sessions, and ample space for interaction.
At Van der Valk, you can also combine business program elements with catering and hotel accommodations. Start the day with a group reception, alternate substantive sessions with a lunch or activity, and end with a dinner or drinks reception. At a multi-day meeting, participants can dine, stay overnight, and continue the program the next day at the same location.
