Via a public vote during the festival Let’s Gro in 2017, inhabitants of the city of Groningen were able to vote on three different designs, where after the design with the classic staircase facades with a contemporary architecture was chosen.
About WestCord Hotels
Despite its international appearance, the name WestCord Hotels has its origin in the Netherlands. This is on Vlieland, the most distant Wadden Island in the Netherlands. In the 1960s, tourism became increasingly important on the islands and in 1968 baker Emo Westers decided to buy Hotel de Wadden for his son. Suddenly the then 18-year-old Harry was a hotelier. 16 hotels throughout the Netherlands now belong to the WestCord family.
