Safari Hotel Beekse Bergen officially opened during festive ceremony

The new Safari Hotel Beekse Bergen was officially opened Friday. Mayor Evert Weys of Hilvarenbeek and Stijn Smeulders, deputy of the province of North Brabant performed the official opening with the push of a button.

The hotel consists of fifteen one-story accommodations. The total of 112 rooms and suites are all situated around a savannah on which giraffes, zebras, rhinos, ostriches and water cattle roam. Breakfast and dinner can be enjoyed in the Hogon House, also located on the Wogon Savannah, which includes two restaurants and several meeting rooms.

Additional features
The opening took place a year after construction began - and nearly five years after the opening of the Safari Resort, the first resort in Beekse Bergen where guests can stay overnight on a savannah.

With the hotel, Beekse Bergen is expanding its accommodation options. Stephanie Struis, general manager of the Safari Resort: "Research has shown that guests would like to have the option of staying with us for a shorter period, for example one or two nights." In addition, according to Struis, there is a great demand for carefree stays. "We therefore offer them a luxury hotel room here, equipped with all conveniences and where guests can join us for breakfast and dinner."

Dogon
The architectural style and interior of the Safari Hotel is inspired by the Dogon people. This ethnic group from Mali lives in very distinctive houses, built of yellow stone and clay and with round, thatched roofs.
