Renovation 2026 Van der Valk Hotel Venlo
Renovation 2026
Between September 2019 and May 2021, a completely new hotel tower was built. View here the complete report of the new construction.
The last project within the construction plan is that we will completely renovate the small hotel tower by mid-August 2026.
The renovation includes, among other things, the following work:
a completely new interior and bathrooms for 62 hotel rooms;
replacing the windows and frames for better (sound) insulation;
renewal of the heating and air conditioning system;
a new elevator.
At the moment, a lot of preparation work is already happening behind the scenes. We are describing the wishes and facilities in the rooms, making architectural calculations for the installation of a sustainable heating and cooling system, and the designers are orienting themselves on the layout and styling of the whole.
In short: the start of yet another large-scale renovation which will take place in mid-August 2026. Through our social media and our website, you will stay informed of all developments.

In the past few weeks, a lot of work has been done on the construction of the prototype room. This means that one hotel room in the small tower has already been fully renovated. During the renovation, great attention was paid to a contemporary design, improved comfort, and high-quality finishing, so that the room meets the wishes and expectations of our guests.
In developing the new room concept, attention was not only paid to appearance and comfort but also to the experiences of our guests. In the former comfort rooms, a survey was placed in recent periods where guests were invited to share their opinions and suggestions. The valuable feedback obtained was considered in the choices for the renovation. In this way, the renewed design better aligns with the wishes and needs of our guests.
From mid-August, the renovation of the remaining 61 hotel rooms in the small tower will start. The work will be carefully planned and executed in phases to minimize inconvenience to guests. After completion, all rooms will have the same renewed appearance and increased comfort as the prototype room.

Around the hotel, the preparations are already visible: the construction lift has been placed, and some parking spaces are cordoned off with construction fences, but we still have sufficient parking available. Also, the bike storage has been temporarily relocated, with still enough space.
The other preparations are still invisible and happening behind the scenes.
From next month, mid-August, the demolition work will start.
We keep you updated not only via the website but also through social networks.
Update August
August 2026
In August, significant progress was made with the renovation. All rooms have now been completely emptied. The work in the building is in full swing.
On all floors, the demolition of interior walls, floors, old paneling, and existing plumbing is underway. This prepares the building step by step for the new layout and installations.
On the first and second floors, the new bathroom walls, including the necessary plumbing, have already been installed. In addition, a large part of the new plumbing has been fitted and laid in the rooms on these floors.
Update September
September 2026
During September, the bathroom walls were tiled and work on finishing the rooms is progressing steadily. The wallpapering on the first floor is now complete. Work is also in full swing on the exterior of the building. The new roofing is being fitted and the installation of the new window frames is well under way. In addition, demolition work on all floors is nearing completion.
There are also some exciting developments planned for the coming weeks. From the end of October, our housekeeping team will begin the initial rough cleaning on the first and second floors. The following week, the new carpet will be laid on these floors, followed by the fitting of the built-in furniture by the joinery workshop.
The bathrooms will be finished in phases. Although the pipework and tiling on the first floors are already largely complete, items such as the toilets and washbasin units will only be fitted at a later stage.
Update October
October 2026
The renovation of the hotel is gradually approaching a new phase: furnishing the rooms! On the higher floors, construction is still in full swing. For example, on the 7th and 8th floors the new walls are currently being installed and the piping is being fitted. On the 3rd and 4th floors the work is already much further along and the end result is becoming increasingly visible, especially on the 1st and 2nd floors.
On the first floor, our housekeeping team has now started the rough cleaning of the bathrooms. The final bathroom fixtures are also being installed here, such as the taps and shower heads. A great step towards the completion of the first rooms!
This week, new carpet is being laid on the 1st through 4th floors. The delivery of the large furniture pieces is also scheduled. The joinery workshop is delivering the furniture for the 1st and 2nd floors. These will be installed in the rooms over the course of the month. The furniture for the 3rd and 4th floors will follow after that.
A major delivery is scheduled for Saturday 27 November. Among other things, the beds, mattresses, chairs and various in-room amenities will be delivered then. Think of kettles, safes and minibars. It is quite a logistical task, with several colleagues rolling up their sleeves to get everything into the right place.
A lot of cleaning still needs to be done before and after this delivery as well. Our housekeeping team is being supported in this by colleagues from other departments.
