Fletcher Hotel De Wageningsche Berg  

Perched on the Wageningen ridge between the Utrechtse Heuvelrug and the Lower Rhine, this 4-star spa hotel looks out over the river and the Betuwe floodplain. It’s a short stroll to Belmonte Arboretum and Gallery Wit, with Doorwerth Castle and Ouwehand Zoo close by.

Contemporary, warmly decorated hotel with 108 air-conditioned rooms and suites. Rooms come with flat-screen TVs, safes and desks, and the panoramic terrace is a highlight for sweeping river views.

Full-service spa with sauna and steam bath, a fitness center, and bicycles to rent. Wedding services, a banquet hall and a panoramic terrace add extra flair; complimentary Wi-Fi and free self-parking keep things convenient — wake up to river-breeze mornings.

About 9,103 sq ft (846 m²) of conference and meeting space across five rooms, with capacity for events up to around 1,500 guests. 24-hour front desk, laundry/dry-cleaning services and complimentary wireless internet make it event-ready.

Two on-site restaurants including Brasserie No 96, plus a cosy bar/lounge and limited-hour room service. Buffet breakfasts are available for a fee and menus showcase local Dutch flavors and seasonal produce.
