Arnhem is a large city located in the east of the Netherlands on the banks of the River Rhine. The Netherlands is a country famous for its relaxed and fun lifestyle, a lifestyle that is epitomized by Amsterdam, which draws in large numbers of tourists every year. The surrounding country however has a similar lifestyle and is rather less plagued by tourism. Only two hours train journey away from Amsterdam sits Arnhem, a vibrant and picturesque city that boasts a vast selection of things to do and see. The surrounding area offers numerous walks and bike rides, with views of spectacular surrounding country as well as the River Rhine that sprawls across the land towards Germany. The city itself has a large shopping experience on offer as well as an active night life and healthy bar, restaurant and club scene. With a number of museums and even a tour around the cellars of the old Medieval town there are various ways to spend your time in this exciting city. The hotels Arnhem offers will provide a comfortable and convenient place to stay whilst exploring this beautiful old town.

Evidence of human settlement in this area dates back to the Stone Age and earlier and traces of human activity in fact date back as far as 70,000 years ago. Establishment of the city of Arnhem however, took place in around 1233 when the town was conferred city status by Otto II, Count of the Guelders. He then settled in the town, which had previously belonged to a priory, developed the city and added walls. During the 19th century Arnhem became a bit of a retreat town for former sugar barons and planters who came back from the Indies and settled in the city. Chosen for its beauty and the numerous parks and greenery within the town, this developed into an ideal retreat for the land owning middle classes. During the Second World War Arnhem came to the front line of battle during Operation Market Garden, a British and Polish campaign in 1944 to capture Arnhem Bridge, which failed when the small number of troops were overwhelmed by enemy forces. The city was eventually liberated a year later by Canadian troops and the bridge rebuilt in later years and renamed the John Frost Bridge, after the British commanding officer of the division.

The hotels Arnhem has to choose from provide a selection of amenities to make your stay relaxed, with easy access to the city and spectacular views of the cityscape and country. These modern and stylish rooms provide internet services and various extras to make sure your stay comfortable. There is a selection of things to do and places to see in Arnhem as well as a vast shopping and restaurant experience on offer in the city center. The shopping on offer ranges from chain stores to small vintage shops and a growing number of fashion boutiques which have recently been giving this city a bit of a name for fashion. For one week in August the city also plays host to the Living Statues exhibition, when 250 performers from all over the world come to compete on the large outdoor catwalks that are set up in the city center. Restaurants in Arnhem range from international to local cuisine so there is a vast selection on offer. Local specialties include pastries, often containing a rich creamy filling, whilst savory food tends towards stews and meat produce.

Situated in the heart of beautiful surrounding countryside, Arnhem provides the ideal starting point for a trip out into the vast forests and patches of sand dunes of the Hoge Veluwe National Park that lies just north of the city. The park itself is a peaceful stretch of land as cars are not allowed into the area. Bikes, however, are provided free of charge at the entrance so it is easy enough to get around and explore. The park also houses the Kröller-Müller Museum and the St.Hubertus Hunting Lodge, where various historical relics are on display. There are various other art galleries and museums within the city including a large open air museum that features exhibits of housing and customs in the area over the centuries and, amusingly, going right up to recent years. Whilst staying in one of the hotels Arnhem offers there are a number of ways to entertain yourself and your family in this beautiful city.
