4-star hotels in Purmerend
This shortlist covers the two 4-star hotels in Purmerend: Fort Resort Beemster and Hampshire Golfhotel Waterland. It is for travellers who want a rated, full-service base in this part of North Holland, whether for a short break, a golf trip or a family stay.
Staying in Purmerend
Purmerend is a town in North Holland known for its historic centre and its position between Amsterdam and the Beemster polder. Visitors come for the old streets and canals of the centre, for the open polder landscape around it, and for a quieter base from which to explore the wider region. The two 4-star hotels here sit outside the immediate town core, on the Nekkerweg and the Westerweg, so a car or local transport is useful for reaching the centre and the surrounding countryside.
With just two properties, the choice is straightforward. Fort Resort Beemster has a guest rating of 4.6 out of 5 from 2,804 reviews, making it the stronger pick for couples and for anyone who wants the highest-rated stay in the area. Hampshire Golfhotel Waterland, rated 3.6 out of 5 from 503 reviews, has an on-site restaurant and free parking, which suits golfers, families travelling with a car and business guests who want easy parking. Both work well for a short break in the Purmerend area.
