the world's leading high technology wood CHALLENGING THE ELEMENTS: Exclusive Beach Bar & Restaurant Features Accoya Wood Throughout The scnario: The Grand Hotel Huis ter Duin in Noorwijk originally opened in 1885. Once favoured by Dutch and Belgian royalty, this imposing hotel has stood the test of time and is one of the last privately owned 5 star hotels in the Netherlands.
