We are delighted to share that Blendin Bloemendaal has been selected for the MICHELIN Guide. For us, this recognition is not just about being included in a respected global guide. It is a reflection of the experience we have been building since day one: a place where guests can step away from the pace of everyday life and reconnect with the coast, nature, and themselves.
Perched on the dunes of Bloemendaal aan Zee, Blendin offers a perspective that is difficult to find elsewhere. The North Sea stretches out in front of the hotel, the dunes surround it, and every season brings a different atmosphere. From sunrise over the coastline to evenings overlooking the sea, the setting plays a central role in every stay.
What Does It Mean to Be Included in the MICHELIN Guide?
Many people know the MICHELIN Guide for its world-famous restaurant recommendations, but the Guide also features a carefully selected collection of hotels around the world. These hotels are independently chosen by anonymous MICHELIN Inspectors, who evaluate properties based on the overall quality of the guest experience, including design, service, character, personality, consistency, and the connection to their surroundings.
What makes the MICHELIN Guide unique is that it looks beyond traditional measures of luxury. The hotels included are not selected solely because of their facilities or star rating. Instead, they are places with a clear identity, places that offer something distinctive and memorable, places that guests remember long after they have checked out.
Being selected for the MICHELIN Guide places Blendin among a curated collection of hotels that stand out for the experiences they create and the stories they tell through hospitality.
What Makes Blendin Bloemendaal Different?
From the beginning, Blendin Bloemendaal was never intended to be just a place to sleep.
Our vision was to create a boutique hotel that feels connected to its environment in every way. The architecture, interiors, views, and atmosphere all draw inspiration from the surrounding landscape and the work of local conservationist Jac P. Thijsse. Rather than competing with nature, the hotel is designed to complement it.
Guests wake up above the dunes, enjoy uninterrupted sea views, and can walk straight onto the beach within moments. The experience is shaped as much by the location as by the hotel itself.
At Blendin, luxury is found in simplicity: having space to breathe, waking up to the sound of the sea, enjoying dinner with a view of the horizon, or watching the sunset from the terrace after a day spent outdoors, or simply inside.
It is this combination of design, location, and understated hospitality that defines the Blendin experience.
A Recognition for the Team Behind the Experience
While the location is extraordinary, hospitality is what brings it to life.
This recognition belongs to the people who create the Blendin experience every day: the team members who welcome guests, prepare rooms, serve breakfast, recommend local favourites, and ensure that every stay feels personal and effortless.
Many of the details that shape a memorable stay often go unnoticed, but they are the result of care, attention, and dedication. We are incredibly grateful to every member of our team for the role they play in making Blendin what it is today.
Looking Ahead
Being included in the MICHELIN Guide is an honour and an important milestone for Blendin Bloemendaal. At the same time, it reinforces what has always been our focus: creating meaningful stays in an exceptional location.
To our guests, thank you for choosing to spend your time with us. Your support, trust, and enthusiasm have helped shape the hotel from the very beginning.
