Nautical heritage meets lakeside nature at hideaway De Durgerdam.
A lakeside boutique hotel frayed by tall grasses, laundered linen whispering in the wind, and a row of gabled, clapboard houses in misty hues skirting along the water’s edge. Here is a time-stood-still hamlet, home to a handful of former fisherfolk, charming architecture, sail boats, coots, and our new hotel and restaurant.
Navigate the slow lane from the buzzing centre of Amsterdam: just 15 minutes from the city centre and Zuidas, and 20 minutes from Schiphol airport, bring you to a sweet-spot refuge between meadows and shore.
An oasis where you can relax and unwind, enjoy good food, a swim in the lake, and fantastic views all year round. Whether you are in town for business or leisure. Welcome to De Durgerdam.
The Durgerdam, with restaurant De Mark as its culinary centerpiece, has fourteen stylishly designed rooms and suites whose color scheme is in perfect harmony with the play of light along the shores of the lake. Don't miss the regional accents such as decorative shells, the characteristic hand-painted woodwork from the Zuiderzee era, hand-glazed tiles, and the use of soft, sensual, velvety fabrics inspired by the grasses, flax, and clay of the surrounding nature. In short, a place to unwind while time passes you by. Sample the local fishermen's drink, let your gaze wander over the bobbing boats on the lake, or lie down on your Hypnos bed and watch the linen curtains dance in the wind.
