Delden
Landgoed Hotel & Restaurant Carelshaven

Carelshaven is a characteristic hotel located in the green heart of Twente, near the charming town of Delden. The hotel has a rich history dating back to 1772, when it already served an important regional function. Carelshaven is situated on the Twickel Estate. The name Carelshaven refers to the harbor that used to lie on the Twickel Canal. The canal was constructed by Carel George, Count of Wassenaer Obdam, who was the resident of Twickel Castle at the time. Originally, Carelshaven began as a modest inn for boatmen at the Twickel harbor company, but over the centuries, it grew into a renowned hotel. The building has an authentic and stately appearance. With its symmetrical forms, large veranda, and white-plastered walls, the hotel still exudes the atmosphere of the 19th century. While the interior was classically furnished for a long time, the hotel has been gradually modernized in recent years by the current owners, Alco and Evelyn van Berkel. Various guest rooms, the restaurant, and the cozy bar have recently been renovated, combining contemporary comfort with the preservation of character and charm. Carelshaven is known for its warm hospitality and stylish ambiance. The cuisine is contemporary, yet still offers room for traditional, classic, and seasonal dishes. The hotel's location makes it an ideal place for both relaxation and business meetings. Surrounded by tranquility, nature, and estates such as Twickel, there are ample opportunities for walking and cycling. At the same time, cities like Hengelo and Enschede are a short distance away, ensuring a wider range of amenities is within easy reach. Within the hotel, guests can enjoy comfortable rooms, culinary facilities, and various spaces for meetings and events. The combination of history, location, and service makes Carelshaven a versatile destination for both leisure and business guests.
