During the renovation all 74 existing hotel rooms were enlarged and completely redecorated. The restaurant and bar were completely restyled, as were the conference rooms, which are now equiped with state-of-the-art technology. All conference rooms have natural daylight overviewing the surrounding woodlands and landscaped garden. The 20 new rooms are pioneers for Golden Tulip�s new standard room types, which comprise traditional, contemporary and design rooms in both the Tulip Inn and Golden Tulip categories.

Mr Frans Rotteveel, general manager of the Tulip Inn Amersfoort comments: �I am very proud of the results of the renovation. The Tulip Inn Amersfoort was built at the end of the �50's in the typical Berlage-style and is now a modern conference hotel on the inside following the renovation.�

Hans Kennedie, President & CEO of Golden Tulip Hotels, Inns & Resorts, comments: �These type of investments are extremely important for various reasons. In today�s highly competitive market, hotels need to invest in order to maintain their market share either by improving facilities or by expanding capacity. Furthermore, the introduction of standard room types will allow our franchisees to benefit from increased brand awareness and cost savings through standardisation. By allowing a number of variations in the room types, we can truly live our promise of international standards, local flavours.�
