Win! A cultural break to The Hague for two with Kirker Holidays

The five-star Hotel des Indes began life in the mid-19th-century as a private mansion (Matthew Shaw Photography)

For those after a cultural break in the Netherlands but want to escape Amsterdam’s crowds, it’s worth bearing in mind that the country has more than one cultural capital. The Hague’s wealth of museums and historical landmarks – not to mention its own school of early 20th-century architecture – makes it an unsung gem, and Kirker Holidays is offering one reader and a guest the chance to see it for themselves.

The lucky winner can travel in style on the new direct Eurostar from London to Rotterdam, from where a private driver will whisk you to The Hague in just 20 minutes. From there, you will check in at one of the city’s most prestigious addresses, the five- star Hotel des Indes, which has hosted rock stars, royalty and ambassadors. Located on the beautiful Lange Voorhout square, shaded by avenues of refreshing lime trees, the hotel was constructed as a private palace in 1858 and is now a member of the Leading Hotels of the World.

The immersive, cultural prize includes a three-night stay with complimentary tickets to the Mauritshuis Museum, where Vermeer’s iconic ‘Girl with a Pearl Earring’ is on display. After a morning in the company of an expert local guide, followed by high tea in the hotel’s celebrated grand parlour, you’ll be eager to come back for more.
