Landgoed de Horst

What Landgoed de Horst does

Landgoed de Horst is a country estate hotel and conference venue located on a 23-hectare private woodland estate in Driebergen-Rijsenburg on the Utrechtse Heuvelrug, Netherlands. The property comprises a near-200-year-old manor house plus five functional buildings (Banning, Boerwinkel, Eb & Vloed, BlauwGedicht, and the auditorium Maitland), offering 113 hotel rooms across three categories—Solo Compact (31, renovated 2024), Solo Cosy (39), and Roomy Double (40)—and more than 30 meeting rooms accommodating 6 to 200+ persons. The venue is operated by De Baak B.V., a Dutch private hospitality group that also runs sister property Hotel de Baak Seaside in Noordwijk, and pursues group-wide B Corp certification alongside Green Key Gold sustainability credentials.

The business operates a full-service hospitality model spanning accommodation, meetings and conferences, and food and beverage, with two principal customer segments: corporate/business clients (meetings, training, team-building, multi-day conferences) and leisure guests (weekend getaways, cycling and nature retreats). Pricing is unit-based across packages—Bicycle Package from €159, Mountain Bike Package from €105, Summer Package from €165/night—with à la carte room rates, late check-out (€15/hour), and add-ons including bike rental (e-bike €29.50/day) and lunch-to-go (€29.50). Go-to-market is sales-led via direct website quote requests, phone, email, and personalized estate tours, complemented by Instagram, newsletter, and customer-review channels. Revenue streams include hotel accommodation (recurring), meeting and conference venue hire (transactional/event-based), F&B at Restaurant Kontrast (transactional), curated stay packages, and ancillary rentals. Strategic partners include Made Blue (water conservation), Hotels for Trees (sustainability), We Design Food (Kontrast concept), and MTB Utrechtse Heuvelrug (trail maintenance), embedding ESG and regional positioning into the operational model.
