The monumental building of Villa Ruimzicht was built in 1853 and was repurposed in 1868 as a training boarding school for pastors of the Christian Philanthropic Institutions. Today, the imposing manor still breathes history, but it has been completely transformed into a contemporary four-star hotel where character and comfort go hand in hand. The spacious guest rooms are decorated in elegant, light tones, offering a soothing ambiance that complements the green surroundings. Throughout the hotel, the rich history is subtly reflected in the high ceilings, authentic ornaments, and warm, welcoming atmosphere. In addition to two restaurants, the hotel features a stylish bar and an inspiring cooking studio where culinary creativity comes to life. Hotel Villa Ruimzicht is situated in its own park with centuries-old trees and lush lawns. A 140-year-old sequoia stands as a silent witness over the grounds, while the verandas and spacious terrace invite guests to enjoy relaxing moments outdoors. At Hotel Villa Ruimzicht, history comes alive in a contemporary setting—a place where hospitality, authenticity, and refinement converge. In the kitchen of Head Chef Bjorn Massop, local products and seasonal ingredients take center stage, resulting in a gastronomic experience closely connected to nature. In Restaurant Lokaal, awarded a Green Michelin Star, you can enjoy multiple courses crafted by Chef Bjorn Massop. For an aperitif, dinner, or digestif, you are also welcome at the atmospheric Bar & Bites. On the edge of the monumental Park Ruimzicht in Doetinchem lies De Buitenplaats: a special location where growing food is central and where ecological, social, and economic value is created. Amidst the greenery stand stylish Eco Lodges, sustainably designed and furnished with natural materials and warm tones that create a serene atmosphere. However, De Buitenplaats is more than just a place to stay. On the adjacent estate, the chefs of Restaurant Lokaal grow their own vegetables, herbs, and flowers. From greenhouse to plate: everything here revolves around purity, flavor, and respect for nature.
