HOTEL ON THE VECHT

HOTEL Flora Batava

Hotel Flora Batava is located at Buitenplaats de Vijverhof and is a boutique hotel on the Vecht. Staying in a hotel on the Vecht means staying in a place where tranquility, history, and refinement come together. At a short distance from Amsterdam, a landscape of rippling water, stately estates, and green banks unfolds. This area has been attracting people for centuries who are looking for relaxation and inspiration.

HISTORY OF THE VECHT

The Vecht has a rich history. As early as 600 BC, the Vecht was navigable. As a branch of the Rhine, this river already formed an important waterway in Roman times. The name ‘Vecht’ finds its origin in old names such as Fehta, Fecta, and Veht, words that all refer to ‘waterway’ or flowing water.

Country estates on the Vecht

In the 17th century, wealthy merchants from the city discovered the beauty of this area. Along the banks, elegant country estates arose, where people retreated from the hustle and bustle of city life. Even today, this history is palpable in the charming villages along the river, such as Vreeland, Loenen aan de Vecht, Breukelen, and Maarssen. In the municipality of Stichtse Vecht, there are as many as 72 country estates.
