We would like to keep you informed about the construction work progress per period.

July 2025 Highest point & merging new hotel wing

We are proud to announce that the highest point of the construction has been reached. Our new hotel wing is now fully visible, giving Van der Valk Groningen-Hoogkerk a beautiful new appearance.

In the coming period, we will continue to work intensively on the completion and furnishing. Additionally, the new hotel wing will finally be connected to the rest of the hotel! With this expansion, we will soon offer even more space for our guests to enjoy comfort, hospitality, and experience.

A special moment to reflect on. Thanks to all involved for their dedication and craftsmanship in making this milestone possible.

In March, we expect to reach a significant milestone: the installation of the first floor. From that moment on, we will literally build up step by step!

February 2025
In February, the focus is on the preparatory work for the high-rise building. The floor is being installed and the first outlines of the ground floor are becoming visible. The hotel is really starting to take shape!
