Novotel Den Haag World Forum is a four-star hotel at Johan de Wittlaan 42-44, 2517 JR Den Haag, in The Hague’s Zorgvliet international district, Netherlands. Built above the World Forum convention centre and theatre, it is particularly convenient for conference delegates who want their accommodation beside the event venue. Leisure travelers choose it for access to the museum district and a position between the historic centre and Scheveningen beach, rather than for a city-centre doorstep location.
What to Expect at Novotel Den Haag World Forum
This is a substantial, modern hotel rather than a small Dutch townhouse property. Its nine floors contain 216 non-smoking rooms, with Superior and Executive categories offering sofa-bed configurations alongside double, queen-size or twin beds. Business desks make working between sessions practical. For families, the important booking decision is the actual sleeping arrangement: check the sofa-bed capacity and room occupancy before choosing a rate, rather than assuming every room accommodates the same group.
The navy-blue BAR@NOVOTEL is the hotel’s distinctive social space, with pizzas, paninis and nachos alongside drinks and cocktails. Think convenient light meals after a conference, rather than a destination restaurant. The fitness centre has Technogym equipment, while the Active Club adds a sauna and jacuzzi for an additional charge. Outside, the nearby Scheveningse Bosjes offers a contrasting woodland setting for a break from meeting rooms or sightseeing.

Visiting Tips, Getting There & Nearby Pairings
For conference stays, reserve the room before arranging optional sightseeing, and leave time between arrival and your first session. Early arrivals should ask about luggage storage rather than expect immediate room access. Public-transport stops are within roughly 450 metres; check HTM’s journey planner for the route and departure serving your arrival station. World Forum-area services include buses 24 and 28, but event arrangements can affect the approach. Drivers should check the garage’s two-metre clearance before bringing a roof box or taller vehicle.
Useful nearby pairings include Kunstmuseum Den Haag and Museon-Omniversum, approximately 5–15 minutes away on foot depending on the entrance and crossing route. Choose one for a manageable afternoon rather than compressing both around a conference session. The hotel has elevators, wheelchair-accessible parking, an accessible registration desk and a well-lit entrance route. These also help families moving luggage and strollers. Reserve the adapted bedroom explicitly and discuss bathroom requirements before payment; general wheelchair access does not mean every bedroom has the same layout.
Frequently Asked Questions
When is the hotel open, and when should I arrive?
The front desk operates around the clock. Plan arrival around the check-in time on your reservation; if arriving earlier, request luggage storage and leave room readiness flexible.
Do I need tickets or an advance reservation?
Book a room, not an admission ticket. Accommodation prices vary by date and category. Use the official booking page to compare cancellation terms, breakfast and payment conditions.
How much time should I budget?
Allow two or three nights for a leisure trip combining museums, the centre and the coast. For conferences, an arrival night before the opening session avoids relying on same-day travel.
Is it suitable for families and wheelchair users?
Yes: sofa-bed rooms and connecting options support family stays. Elevators and accessible public facilities support wheelchair access, but only one bedroom is designated for reduced mobility, so arrange that room directly and early.
