About
Papendal

Papendal is more than a place. Here, sport, expertise and hospitality come together. From an Olympic training centre and a hotel surrounded by nature, to an inspiring location for business meetings and events. An environment where elite athletes, guests and companies meet and inspire each other. In everything we do, you can feel the power of sport. That makes us different. And that makes us proud.

Our story

Hidden in the forests of the Veluwe, on the edge of Arnhem, lies Papendal. A place where elite sport and business come together. Where energy is tangible in everything we do. And where everyone wants to get the best out of themselves every day.

At Hotel Papendal, it’s about more than hospitality. We believe in the power of sport. In focus, teamwork and pushing boundaries. That mentality is reflected in everything: in our service, in the way we think along with your meeting or event, and in the experience we create.

At Olympic Training Centre Papendal, hundreds of athletes train every day with dreams of gold. We provide the knowledge, facilities and support needed to excel at a world-class level.

What makes us special is that we don’t just work for elite sport. We contribute directly. Of every euro you spend with us, 25% flows back into the facilities for top athletes at Papendal. That is truly unique. Worldwide.

Here, you feel energy, pride and passion.
