4- and 5-star hotels in and around Hilversum
A shortlist of the 4- and 5-star hotels in and around Hilversum, pulled together for couples, families and business travellers who want a guest-rated stay close to the town and its surrounding green belt.
Staying in Hilversum
Hilversum is best known as the heart of Dutch broadcasting, and visitors come for the studios and media quarter as much as for the town itself. These three hotels sit outside the busiest centre, on the wooded edges of Hilversum and on the road toward Bussum and Amersfoort, so guests get quiet surroundings with easy reach of the centre, the Arenapark business district and the heathland around town.
All three are 4-star, guest-rated between 4.0 and 4.4 out of 5 and reviewed between 262 and 1132 times, which makes them suitable for couples on a short break, families needing space and parking, and business travellers with meetings at Arenapark or in the media quarter. Free parking, on-site dining and terraces or gardens recur across the list, so the choice is mainly about which green edge of Hilversum you would rather wake up on.
