Every room frames a unique experience.
Our generous lounge welcomes guests as the day begins; the spacious meeting room offers a quiet place to exchange ideas, while the elegant Dining Room brings people together around a beautifully prepared table.
For centuries, these rooms have witnessed family celebrations, important business meetings and memorable milestones. Today, they continue to welcome new stories.
The rooms and their illustrious namesakes:
In 1872, entrepreneur Philippus van Ommeren commissioned the present-day villa, establishing Welgelegen among Rotterdam's most distinguished private residences. Today, this room still reflects the elegance and entrepreneurial spirit of the family who first made it their home.
Named afterJacobus van Hoboken, grandson of one of the Netherlands' greatest shipowners, this room reflects a remarkable chapter in Welgelegen's history. The ornate ceiling paintings, commissioned by the family and still marked with the letter “H”, continue to honour their legacy.
When Louis Jamin acquired Welgelegen in 1924, he gave the house much of the character it still carries today. The marble entrance hall, the grand staircase and the iconic stained-glass dome remain a lasting tribute to his family's vision. This elegant and spacious private dining room that bears his name is a tribute to Jamin’s enduring legacy of refined style and impeccable taste.
The Tea Room offers a calm and serene retreat within the estate. A space for welcoming guests with premium coffee and gourmet pastries, indulging in a refined afternoon tea or engaging in private conversation. A room where warmth, comfort and genuine hospitality come together.
Discover your ultimate wine of choice from our impressive collection.
Behind sleek glass doors lies a carefully curated collection of wines from some of the world's most renowned estates. From celebrated vintages to hidden discoveries, the Wine Cellar invites guests to explore, taste and celebrate in an atmosphere of quiet elegance and genuine hospitality.
Since 2014, entrepreneur Michel Perridon has carefully restored Welgelegen to its former glory with great respect for its illustrious history. Today, this room reflects his vision, preserving the estate's remarkable heritage while welcoming a new generation of guests.
The Library houses the story of Buitenplaats Welgelegen and the remarkable people who shaped its history. Books, photographs and historical documents tell the stories of the Van Ommeren, Van Hoboken and Jamin families, while original German records discovered during the restoration offer a rare glimpse into the villa's wartime past. Together, these collections preserve nearly three centuries of history, quietly safeguarded within the walls of Welgelegen.
At the heart of Welgelegen, the Bar offers a warm and inviting setting for informal conversations, a quiet coffee, an aperitif before dinner or a nightcap at the end of the evening. Oplulent decor, intimate lighting and attentive hospitality create an atmosphere where guests can sit back and relax, where every moment feels unhurried.
An invitation to dine differently.
The Chef's Kitchen offers a truly intimate dining experience, where guests gather around the Chef's Table while a Michelin-starred chef prepares a bespoke menu exclusively for their party. More than a private dinner, it is a moment of craftsmanship, conversation and exceptional hospitality, shared around the heart of the home.
