the concept put into practice on
a large scale.
When I arrived, about 10 a.m., I was
fresh off a 10 plus hour flight and
I had less than an hour before I had to
be on the move. So I didn’t linger long
in the lobby and I was oh so grateful
that my room was ready, allowing me
to head straight to it. After sneaking
a peak at some pictures online, I was
more than curious about what my
room would look like.
Zany? A bit. Colorful? Yes. Great
use of space and everything I
needed? Definitely! It’s like sleeping
in IKEA. I think it’s the first time in
a hotel room where there were more
hooks than I actually needed.
Typically there’s never enough,
especially if you’re traveling with
your family in tow.

The bathroom is a good size, but
the set-up is different than most
American travelers are accustomed
to. There’s no bathtub; the shower
floor and bathroom floor are one and
the same and the shower is not fully
enclosed by a curtain. A small glass
door contains the splash zone. Fully
functioning, with plenty of hot
water, it uses bathroom space wisely.
There’s also a gym and sauna, that
I had pretty much all to myself
during my stay.
The hotel is a good walk, about 20
minutes or so, from the center of
Delft, so I’d plan on either a car or
using taxis. Does it fit into the
luxury hotel mold? Definitely not.
The WestCord Hotel Delft doesn’t
fit into any mold which is what
makes it fabulously fun and a
comfortable place to call home,
even when you’re trying to work
through jetlag.
Dana’s trip to Delft was organized
by the Netherlands Board of Tourism
& Conventions, but as always her
thoughts and opinions are her own.
