About
Set deep in the Veluwe woodlands and approached along a nearly one-kilometre driveway, the country estate Het Roode Koper takes its name from the copper-red pine bark that colours the surrounding forest. The estate radiates quiet grandeur, from its landscaped gardens to the elegant hotel rooms and suites that invite guests to extend their stay.
Chef Dennis van den Beld leads the kitchen alongside sous-chefs Nina Graver and Tomas Nipius, crafting a modern cuisine that has earned a Gault&Millau score of 15.5/20, a Michelin selection, and a place in the 2026 Lekker Top 500. In the dining room, maître Charlie van Hamersveld and sommelier Marco Vlijm deliver hospitality that is refined yet genuinely relaxed.
The philosophy is one of focused flavour and precise technique rather than spectacle — a kitchen that rewards attention. Guests echo this appreciation with a Google rating of 4.7 from 559 reviews. The terrace, overlooking the estate gardens, adds a setting that feels almost cinematic to the already memorable experience.
Book your table at one of the Veluwe's finest — or stay the night and make it a full escape.
Elegant rooms & suites in a refined country mansion featuring a restaurant, a tennis court & a pool.
