Hotel Bent
In the middle of the Oisterwijk forests and fens, you will find what may well be the most sustainable hotel in the Netherlands, and certainly in North Brabant. Constructed for the most part out of recycled parts and waste streams, this romantic, animal-friendly hotel was built with zero emissions.

And ‘zero-emission’ is not the only progressive idea in this idiosyncratic boutique hotel: the brand new restaurant (opening in March 2025) also offers only vegan food. The reason for all of these sustainable, green choices? The protected nature reserve right in front of it.

Small-scale and pleasant
Hotel Bent is rather majestic, but it is also very romantic with a touch of ‘urban glamour.’ It is completely wheelchair friendly as well as animal friendly and child friendly. The wooden base of the 8 rooms and 2 suites generates a pleasant, warm ambience (4 suites will be added in March 2025). Furthermore, the hotel is brand new with all modern luxuries. There are numerous events scheduled. In 2025 it will be possible to enjoy pleasant theatre evenings and hilarious cabaret. It is also an ideal location for business meetings and workshops, whether they last one or several days. In the midst of beautiful greenery, this location breathes inspiration, energy and sustainability!
Green neighbours
Hotel Bent is on the edge of a Natura 2000 area. Just cross the street and you are in the middle of the woods. Or jump on your bicycle and follow one of the beautiful routes of the Dutch Nature Reserves. Logically, the hotel-restaurant attracts mainly nature lovers, but its romantic character also suits couples who are in love perfectly. In addition to all the greenery, the charming centre of Oisterwijk is very close by with its lovely shops and a surprising number of art galleries. And if you are really interested in art and design, then the EKWC (European Ceramic Work Centre) at the former site of the KVL leather factory is a must. It is there that you will discover why numerous European ceramic artists have come to Oisterwijk of all places.
