The Kurhaus of Scheveningen, The Hague in the Netherlands is a hotel which has been called the Grand Hotel Amrâth Kurhaus The Hague since October 2014. It is located in the main seaside resort area, near the beach.
History
The Kurhaus was built between 1884 and 1885 by the German architects Johann Friedrich Henkenhaf and Friedrich Ebert. It consisted originally of a concert hall and a hotelwith 120 rooms. Having suffered serious damage by fire, it was rebuilt between 1886 and 1887. The ceilings were painted by the Brussels artist Van Hoeck and his large workshop. Several kings and heads of state sojourned in the Kurhaus during its heyday.
Until the mid 1960s, the Kurhaus remained a public attraction as a major concert hall, at which many top artists performed. The Rolling Stones performed at the Kurhaus on August 8, 1964, and had to flee the building due to the vast numbers of excited fans outside.
Ike & Tina Turner performed at the Kurhaus on February 11, 1971. The show was aired on Dutch television.
A large number of celebrities have stayed at the hotel. The guestbook includes members of various royal families such as Crown Prince Harald of Norway, government leaders such as Winston Churchill and Mikhail Gorbachev and celebrities such as Joan Crawford, Audrey Hepburn and Bon Jovi. The first signature is from the then 13-year-old Queen Wilhelmina together with her mother Queen Regent Emma. The Hague author and dandy Louis Couperus was among the frequent visitors.
And in 2024 we stayed in the hotel as well.
