From 5 to 7 February 2026, the Brabanthallen in ‘s-Hertogenbosch will be the setting for the very first edition of the Holiday Festival, the new travel lifestyle event in the Netherlands where destinations, travel organizations and travel lifestyle brands come together in an inspiring festival atmosphere full of experience, advice and entertainment.
One of the participants is Van der Valk Hotel Schiphol, which shows how comfort, accessibility and hospitality come together at the intersection of travel and stay.
A trusted base for travellers
Van der Valk Hotel Schiphol has been a fixture for both leisure and business travellers for years. Thanks to its strategic location near Schiphol Airport, spacious rooms and extensive facilities, the hotel is an ideal base for those who want to start a trip relaxed or end it comfortably. At the Holiday Festival, Van der Valk Hotel Schiphol presents itself as a place where travel does not stop on arrival or departure, but becomes part of the total travel experience. During the Holiday Festival, visitors discover how the hotel offers extra convenience and relaxation around a holiday flight from Schiphol. Think of an overnight stay in combination with long-term parking at the hotel and a shuttle to the airport, so that travelers have to plan less at an already busy travel time. “For many people, travel starts before they board the plane,” says Arjen van der Linden of Van der Valk Hotel Schiphol. “At the Holiday Festival, we show how a comfortable stay contributes to a relaxing travel experience, whether you are departing, arriving or just want to recharge.”
A logical link within the festival
According to Frits Kuijper, creative director of the Holiday Festival, Van der Valk Hotel Schiphol adds a recognizable and practical element to the event. “They stand for comfort and hospitality at a time when travel is often exciting or busy. That feeling of peace and trust fits perfectly with the travel stories that visitors come to our festival to pick up.” T.J. van Apeldoorn, strategic director of the Holiday Festival, also sees the participation as a substantive enrichment. “With Van der Valk Hotel Schiphol, we show that travel is not only about destinations, but also about everything around them. Their participation underlines our ambition to give the entire travel ecosystem a place at the Holiday Festival.”
