The property is located at the bordering point of three countries - the Netherlands, Germany and Belgium and offers modern, technologically advanced meeting space, even within the 600 year old castle.

The hotel features luxurious, spacious guest rooms, junior suites and suites, all tastefully appointed and offering guests views of the surrounding hills of Limburg. With 22 different meeting rooms for up to 220 people, the recently expanded hotel wing features meeting rooms with built-in data projectors, AMX-system and air conditioning.

Private dining is available in truly unique areas of the castle from the cellar to one of the paneled dining rooms overlooking the garden.
Aachen, Maastricht and Luik are all within 30 minutes or less of the property. The nearby city of Maastricht is regarded as the oldest and most beautiful Dutch city. First established by the Romans around 50 BC, Maastricht is filled with historic sites and a cast assortment of charming pubs, museums, fashionable boutiques and romantic cobble-stoned streets. A stone's throw away is the German city of Aachen with its rich imperial history.
