The story

Not just where you stay.Where life happens.

Hospitality shaped by feeling, not form. From mountains and water to the energy of the city, our places are rooted in where they are and designed around how you want to live there.

07:40Morning at Kaag

You wake before the alarm, for once.

Fog is still sitting on the water, coffee is already somewhere in the air, and the day is entirely yours to shape. A canoe out on the lakes, a court booked for the afternoon, bikes for the polder villages, or none of it.

Lunch is the reason people drive up the valley.

This is not a hotel with a restaurant. It is a restaurant with rooms above it. What reaches the table comes from growers and suppliers a few kilometres away, and nobody is in a rush to bring the bill.

21:00Night in the city

Dinner starts when everyone is there.

And it ends when nobody remembers the time. Somebody opens another bottle, the kitchen keeps sending small plates, and outside the city slowly shows its stars: windows, streetlights, a tram going home.

Three places, one day, and the feeling that you already know your way around.

If this is how you want to travel, come and live it.

The collectionThree open, more coming

There’s more than one way to travel.

Slowly. Spontaneously. With somewhere to go, or nowhere at all. By the water, in the mountains, in the middle of the city.

Different places, different reasons to go. Each one shaped by where it is, and how you want to experience it.

Vall de Laguar

Mountains, silence and open sky.

Hidden in the Vall de Laguar, YOUNG Hotels Denia is a place where hiking trails replace streets, days move slower, and nights are defined by stillness and uninterrupted stars.

Part of The YOUNG House, The Lake Tiny Houses sit where the canals meet the farmland. Ducks and swans cross the water, and winter mornings often arrive wrapped in soft fog that turns everything still.

Where hospitality meets everyday life.

Set between The Hague, Rotterdam and Amsterdam, YOUNG Learning Hotel is part of The YOUNG House: a place where rooms, workspaces and F&B come together, and where guests, professionals and future talent naturally cross paths. It is a hotel shaped by the life happening around it.

Still deciding?Let the story choose for you.

Spain, Vall de Laguar01 / 03

Where silence has a view.

You arrive by a road that keeps climbing, and when the engine stops, the silence is almost loud. Then the valley opens, and you understand.

The pool of YOUNG Hotels Denia looking out over the valley
Denia, about01
The setting

Hiking trails replace streets, and the horizon feels close enough to touch.

Days are shaped by movement through the mountains and pause in between. Nights are profoundly quiet, broken only by wind, distant birds and the sense that everything has slowed down.

Netherlands, De Kaag02 / 03

Life at water level.

The Lake Tiny Houses are part of The YOUNG House. The first thing you notice is the light on the water. The second is that, somewhere between the car and the house, you stopped hurrying.

Kaag, about01
The setting

Ducks and swans cross the canals; winter mornings arrive wrapped in soft fog.

Farm animals shape the horizon, and stillness transforms everything. Here, guests can cook, stay longer, or simply shift their routine into a slower, more natural rhythm.

Netherlands, Rijswijk03 / 03

A hotel that never stops learning.

Set inside The YOUNG House in Rijswijk, where work, learning and living come together. A place for today’s guests and tomorrow’s hospitality talent.

A living system

Not a traditional hotel, a living system.

The YOUNG House brings rooms, co-working spaces, a café and shared areas under one roof, and the hotel lives at its centre. Guests, professionals, students and interns share the same rhythm: arriving, working, pausing, continuing.

The rooms

One roof, many rhythms.

Rooms range from private, compact spaces to larger configurations for teams, families or groups who prefer to stay connected under one roof.

Each space is simple, functional and intentionally designed, supporting both individual rhythm and shared living within the hotel.

The programme

Real guests. Real shifts. Real responsibility.

The hotel is home to YOUNG Campus, the education platform of the YOUNG ecosystem: a six-month, residential hospitality programme where students and young professionals rotate through Front Office, Housekeeping, F&B, Young Coffee, Operations and Business Support.

Learn. Build. Belong. Participants don't shadow, they become part of the operation, mentored by professionals in a live hotel, with the founding cohort arriving in November 2026.

A conscious stay

Local produce.

We cook with local produce, working with growers and suppliers close to each hotel. Together with everyday practices that reduce waste, it makes for a way of staying that is both comfortable and considered.

Travel that gives more than it takes.

Our worldPeople & values

Hospitality should feel personal, considered, connected.

YOUNG Hotels was created from the belief that hospitality should feel personal, considered, and connected to the place in which it exists.

Our world, the group01
YOUNG Hotels Group

More than accommodation: atmosphere, feeling, and the way a place stays with you.

Each property is shaped by its own surroundings and rhythm, from quiet landscapes and countryside living to dynamic urban environments. No two hotels are the same, yet all share a common approach.

As part of the YOUNG ecosystem, YOUNG Hotels brings together travel, community, wellbeing, learning and contemporary living within one evolving hospitality vision.

What we hold ourselves toSeven disciplines

Seven quiet disciplines.

01

Attention to detail

Atmosphere is built quietly, through light, timing, cleanliness and flow; details guests may never consciously notice, but always feel.

02

Care & presence

Making people feel genuinely welcomed, comfortable and seen, through attentive and thoughtful hospitality.

03

Everyday excellence

True hospitality lives in consistency, the quiet discipline of doing ordinary things exceptionally well, every single day.

04

Authenticity

Real connection through honest communication, human warmth, and hospitality that never feels scripted.

05

Ownership

Taking responsibility fully, following through properly, and ensuring every guest experience feels cared for from beginning to end.

06

Agility

Remaining flexible, proactive and solution-oriented, while preserving calm, quality and attention to detail.

07

Determination

Holding the standard with consistency, discipline and care, from the first interaction to the last.

Come see what it feels like.

Big news: The launch of YOUNG HOTELS

The launch of our brand-new venture: boutique hospitality with exclusive experiences, integrating design, nature and luxury in unique locations.

The valley around YOUNG Hotels Denia

We’ve got something big: the launch of our brand-new venture YOUNG Hotels. With YOUNG Hotels, we want to redefine the concept of boutique hospitality with exclusive experiences, integrating design, nature, and luxury in unique locations. On April 1st, guests can check in at our first YOUNG Hotels in Spain.

Not just another hotel

At YOUNG, we do not think that when in a hotel, you have to feel at home. On the contrary. You have to get the feeling that you are definitely elsewhere. That’s why we are curating unique accommodations that transform the way people connect and stay, ranging from luxury villas to boutique hotels. Whether you need to unwind during a luxury stay or planning on having a team retreat, our location will elevate your experience. Because a YOUNG Hotels is not just another hotel.

Hola España

This spring, guests will be able to experience the first accommodation of our new hotel brand. We will launch the hotel in Spain: a charming rural hotel in the heart of the breathtaking La Vall de Laguar. Ana Espla, operational manager of YOUNG Hotels and expert in the hospitality industry, is in charge of building this dream along with YOUNG. Check in soon, and go check it out.
