About us voco® The Hague

Destination: voco® The Hague

Come on into an iconic former bank building where offices and ATMs have made way for a brand-new hotel. First impression? 204 elegantly furnished rooms, 7 floors and a warm welcome from your future team. Inside voco The Hague you will find restaurant Botanica and cocktailbar Ultramarijn. This is where you’ll be staying.

If there’s one thing we know, it’s that a great host is at the heart of every great stay. And it might be stating the obvious, but at home or in a hotel, we think the trick to being a great host is understanding what your guests want and when they want it. Knowing when to add those little touches and small thoughtful gestures that make every stay special and when to take a step back. 

Our guests are by and large pretty unstuffy and laid-back. And while they may not be looking for us to hang onto their every word, they do want us to be there when they need us to be. So, at voco™, we find the right balance. The perfect mix of thoughtful, easy-going but attentive service, that allows our guests to get on with relaxing. 

At voco™, everyone’s a host.
