Q. Is the Haworth Inn
& Conference Center open to the public?
A. Yes. While the Haworth Inn is owned by Hope College, it is for
use by the public and is conveniently located between the picturesque
campus and downtown Holland.
Q. If the Haworth
Inn is owned by Hope College, are the rooms like dorm rooms?
A. Not at all. In fact, the Haworth Inn & Conference Center has
a 3-Diamond rating from AAA, the highest rating possible for a property
without an in-house restaurant, 24-hour room service, and concierge.
Q. Do you have any
adjoining rooms or suites?
A. We do not have any suites, nor do we have adjoining rooms. However,
ours is a small property, and, if available, we will be happy to
assign rooms next to each other or across from each other.
Q. Do you have a
pool?
A. No, we do not have a pool in the Haworth Center. However, all
of our guests are welcome to use the Hope College Dow Physical Education
Center, which has an Olympic-sized lap pool, high-dive, weight-training
rooms, Nautilus weight equipment, running track and gym. In addition,
upon request our guests are also given free passes to the Holland
Aquatic Center, which houses an Olympic size pool as well as a fabulous
children�s area (we recommend this for our guests with children).
Q. Why don�t you
have an in-house restaurant?
A. The Haworth Inn does not have an in-house restaurant because
we are across the street from Holland�s historic downtown, with
more than 100 shops, including many restaurants, ranging from relaxed
bar and grille restaurants, to Italian, to upscale European fare.
All of these restaurants are within walking distance, and downtown
Holland has a heated street and sidewalk system, which makes walking
in winter as safe, and pleasant, as possible.
Q. But what about
conferences, banquets, meetings and wedding receptions? Do we have
to bring our own food in?
A. No. The Haworth Inn & Conference Center has an award-winning
catering department headed by our Certified Executive Chef and Catering
Manager, who between them have nearly 40 years of experience. Our
menus are available here, on the web page,
or our Certified Executive Chef would be happy to customize a menu
to anyone�s taste.
Q. What is the maximum
number of people your facility can accommodate?
A. 350 persons Banquet Style and 400 persons Theatre Style in our
5,500 square foot Ballroom. Our hotel can sleep up to 172. Click
here to view different conference
room layouts, such as Banquet and Theatre Style.
Q. Can I bring my
own food into the Haworth Center?
A. At the Haworth Inn & Conference Center we do all of our in-house
catering for all events held here.
Q. Do you serve Alcohol?
A. The Haworth Inn & Conference Center, being owned by Hope College,
is located on Hope�s campus, which is an alcohol-free campus. Alcohol
is not allowed anywhere on campus, and is not served at events at
the Haworth Inn. There are several nice restaurants, bars, and two
breweries nearby, and most are on 8th street, within walking distance.
Q. Is parking available?
A. Yes there is. While there are a limited number of spaces directly
in front of the hotel, there are plenty more surrounding it. Click
