Over the past year I have driven across the country in my new Peugeot 208 in search of the best hotspots for my new book STAYCATION. For this one Zwolle city guide I spent a weekend searching for hotspots and other addresses you definitely shouldn't miss. That's how I discovered Pillows Grand Hotel Ter Borch Zwolle.
This new hotel is located in a beautiful old building near the Central Station of Zwolle, which has recently been completely renovated. Take your time with breakfast in the morning. It's delicious and incredibly extensive! In the evening, you can also enjoy a delicious meal at Coperto Restobar, so after a day exploring the city, you'll have no reason to leave the hotel.

This luxury hotel, built in a former 19th-century police station, offers 41 rooms. All rooms and suites are located in both the historic building and the modern wing. Highly recommended for your staycation in Zwolle!
Your Little Black Book contains hundreds of tips for hotels and unique accommodations worldwide, from luxury to budget and from boutique hotels to apartments.

Corendon en
Tui also have hotels and apartments in their portfolio that are small-scale and unique. Or consider, for example, a Eliza Was Here where your journey is completed by the freedom of a rental car.

Airbnb, but also consider providers such as:

We book quite a few flights each year, but if a destination is easily accessible by train, we prefer to take the train. Because no one wants to overpay for a ticket, my tip is to subscribe to newsletters so you're the first to know about special offers.
► Via NS International Book your international train tickets such as London and Berlin. For most routes, such as the Thalys to ParisYou can book tickets up to three months in advance. That's also when the fares are lowest! Click here to discover which cities are easily accessible by train >>
