An iconic address since 1992

Opened in 1992, the establishment has been a part of the Paris-Charles de Gaulle airport hotel's landscape for over thirty years. Its singular architecture was imagined by the architect Helmut Jahn. At the heart of the building, its vast atrium bathed in light gives the hotel an immediately recognizable identity and creates a true meeting point between different areas. Over the years, the establishment has evolved, changed, and continues today to renew itself to meet the travelers' new expectations while retaining the character that defines its identity.

The Van der Valk spirit, a story passed down

The story of Van der Valk has roots well before the birth of the first hotel. It began in 1862 in Voorschoten, Netherlands, when Nicolaas van der Valk acquired the De Gouden Leeuw farm, part of which gradually became a place to drink, eat, and meet. A few decades later, in 1929, his son Martinus, one of 24 siblings and driven by the desire to carve his own path, took over the establishment with his wife Rie. During his many travels, Martinus realized how much he missed the generous cuisine he found at home. A simple idea would shape the future of the family: to allow travelers to eat well and feel welcomed like at home.

From this vision, the Van der Valk family business as we know it today was born. In 1939, eight first rooms complemented the establishment before Martinus encouraged each of his eleven children to develop their own hotel. From generation to generation, the family grew, the establishments multiplied in the Netherlands and beyond, but this philosophy remained intact. Today, Van der Valk hotels are still run by Martinus' descendants and continue a legacy built around hospitality, proximity, quality, and family spirit. More than a story of hotel expansion, Van der Valk is above all that of a family that, for four generations, has passed down a conviction: to welcome does not only mean providing a place to stay, but to create a place where everyone can feel expected and valued.

The toucan, a story that became an emblem

Why a toucan? The story dates back to the acquisition of the Avifauna bird park. Passionate about birds, Gerrit van der Valk wanted to find a symbol capable of representing the identity and spirit of the family. His choice then focused on the toucan, a colorful, cheerful, and immediately recognizable tropical bird.

With its warm and friendly character, the toucan naturally corresponds to the Van der Valk spirit. Over the decades, it has become much more than just a graphic element: a true emblem of the brand and its family history, recognizable today in all Van der Valk establishments.
