A day-by-day itinerary for Hotel Old Dutch’s Weekend Package

Below is a practical way to think about the flow of your stay. The exact pace is yours to decide, but this outline shows how the included elements naturally fit into a two-day escape.

Day 1: Arrival, settling in, and your first evening at Le Pompadour

The first day of Hotel Old Dutch’s Weekend Package starts exactly as a weekend break should: with a warm and welcoming arrival. After checking in, you are received with coffee or tea and a slice of apple pie. That simple moment sets the tone for the rest of the stay.

Instead of hurrying back out, you can take time to ease into your surroundings and enjoy the comfort of your Superior room. One of the real advantages of a two-night package is that the first afternoon does not have to feel packed. You can unpack, slow down, and let the weekend begin properly.

What your first day includes

1. Arrival at Hotel Old Dutch
2. Welcome with coffee or tea and apple pie
3. Check-in to a Superior room
4. Time to relax before dinner
5. Three-course choice menu at restaurant Le Pompadour
6. Overnight stay with the next morning’s breakfast included

Why the first evening matters

The first evening often shapes the whole trip. When dinner is already part of the package, you avoid the usual questions of where to eat or whether you need to book a table elsewhere. At restaurant Le Pompadour, the package includes a three-course choice menu, giving your arrival day a polished and enjoyable finish.

That built-in dining experience is especially valuable on a short getaway. It keeps the evening effortless and allows you to focus on conversation, atmosphere, and the pleasure of being away.

Day 2: Breakfast, classic Volendam experiences, and another relaxed dinner

The second day is where Hotel Old Dutch’s Weekend Package really comes into its own. After your overnight stay, you start the morning with breakfast. With that already included, the day begins calmly and without extra planning.

From there, the package introduces some of its most memorable local touches. One of the most recognisable experiences is the photo in traditional Volendam costume. It is a light-hearted and distinctly local activity that gives you a fun souvenir from your stay.

The package also includes a boat trip to the picturesque village of Marken. A boat excursion adds variety to the weekend and helps turn a hotel stay into a broader local experience. For many guests, this is the moment that makes the trip feel especially complete.

Highlights of day 2

• Breakfast at the hotel
• Photo in traditional Volendam costume
• Boat trip to Marken
• Time to enjoy the area at your own pace
• Second evening with a three-course choice menu at Le Pompadour
• Second overnight stay in your Superior room

A note on the package rhythm

What works well here is the mix of included experiences and free time. You are not committed to a rigid schedule all day long. Instead, the package gives you anchor points:

• breakfast,
• a cultural photo moment,
• a boat trip,
• and dinner in the evening.

Everything in between can unfold at your own pace. That balance is often what turns a weekend break into a restful one.

Day 3: A final breakfast and an easy departure

By the third day, one more included breakfast rounds off the stay. Because Hotel Old Dutch’s Weekend Package spans two overnight stays, your departure day does not feel abrupt. You have had enough time to enjoy both the hotel and the included experiences.

This final morning is ideal for a slower start before heading home. Rather than feeling like you only just arrived, you leave with the satisfaction of having enjoyed a full weekend away.

What makes this package feel indulgent?

The word indulgence is often overused in travel writing, but here it fits for a simple reason: the package is built around comfort and ease.

1. The welcome is immediate

Starting with coffee or tea and apple pie creates a sense of hospitality from the moment you arrive.

2. Dining is part of the experience

With a three-course choice menu on both evenings at Le Pompadour, meals are not an afterthought. They are central to the stay.

3. Two nights give the weekend breathing room

A one-night escape can feel rushed. Two overnight stays in a Superior room including breakfast give you more time to unwind.

4. Local experiences are already included

The traditional Volendam costume photo and boat trip to Marken add character and help you connect your hotel stay to the destination.

5. Small extras complete the package

The discount voucher for a portion of poffertjes adds another local touch to the overall experience.
