4-star hotels in Den Helder
A shortlist of the 4-star hotels in Den Helder, made for couples, families and business travellers who want a spa, a pool or a quiet base near the beach without giving up comfort.
Staying in Den Helder
Den Helder sits at the northern tip of North Holland, a coastal town known for its beaches, its maritime and naval history and its ferry link across to Texel. Visitors come for the sea air, the dunes and the harbour, and use the town as a starting point for the Wadden area.
Both hotels on this shortlist lie in the Badhuisstraat and Duinbrink area, close to the beach side of town, with the Duinbrink 4 address in a quieter street. Grand Hotel Beatrix is the larger, fuller option with a pool, spa, sauna, fitness centre, restaurant and bar, and a 4.3 rating from 759 reviews, so it suits couples and business guests who want facilities on site. B&B Duinbrink is smaller and self-catering in style, with a kitchen and kitchenette, garden and tennis court, which suits families or longer stays.
