"At the end of 2018, the new Van der Valk Hotel Amsterdam-Amstel opened its doors. The first impression is very important, so we went all out! The 60 meter high hotel tower, within the ring road of Amsterdam does not only have 206 hotel rooms, but also a trendy bar (MOQUM) next to the water and a pool on the roof terrace of the third floor."

Lucie en Thymen Simons
Hotel Amsterdam-Amstel
"Berlin is a beloved student city, due to the international character, the generous culture and the exciting night life. If you are doing an internship at Van der Valk Hotel Berlin, you will also learn the German language in no time. A sure must on your resume!"
Van der Valk
Hotel Berlin Brandenburg
“Doing an internship in the capital of Europe is an incredible experience. In this metropolis, you encounter countless nationalities. An internship in Brussels feels like far away, yet close to home. Swiftly, you will master the French language. But due to the management being Dutch, you will feel at home immediately. The same goes for Van der Valk Hotel Luxemburg-Arlon, where the main language is also French, but the management Dutch.”
Ruud & Fenna de Bruijn
Hotel Brussels Airport
"Enjoying the sunset on the beach of the Côte d'Azur after a day of working hard? This is possible if you do your internship at Van der Valk Saint-Aygulf. An incredible experience with the well-known toucan, but in a holiday paradise on the South coast of France. Who would not go for this?"
Van der Valk
Hotel Saint-Aygulf
"Feel Good, @Home en #WOW! That is what our hotel stands for. We think it is very important that guests, colleagues and interns feel at home with us and that we positively surprise them. With beatiful hotel rooms, our cosy restaurant Nest, the delicious sushi and cocktails from OZZO Oriental Restobar, the ultramodern conference rooms and of course the most important thing... an amazing team!"
Ab & Christa de Bruijn
Hotel Sassenheim-Leiden
"I would recommend an internship at the southern neighbours to everyone. Here in Antwerp, we have a young team and an amazing atmosphere. Everybody helps one another. And Antwerp is a beautiful city, of course. Abroad, but still nearby!"
Van der Valk
Hotel Antwerpen
"An internship at Van der Valk is definitely a unique experience. But what makes an internship at Hotel Brugge-Oostkamp even more special, are our guests. Besides our business guests and guests staying in our hotel for the beautiful surroundings, many international soccer teams, such as Atlético Madrid, FC Barcelona and FC Porto choose to stay in our hotel."
