Efteling Grand Hotel opens with record-breaking decorative bow
Dutch fairytale theme park Efteling has opened its new hotel, and with it set the Guinness World Record for the largest ribbon bow.
Opened on 1 August, the Efteling Grand Hotel is the first hotel to be located inside the walls of the theme park.
The enormous bow was used to decorate the hotel’s exterior and measures 16.74 metres wide and 17.15 metres high.
“We’ve looked forward to opening Efteling Grand Hotel for a long time,” said Fons Jurgens, CEO of Efteling.
“With this, we’re adding the largest hotel ever to our accommodation offering, combining a remarkable level of refinement and luxury.
“And for the first time, guests can now stay within the park boundaries of Efteling. That deserves a grand celebration – and the Guinness World Record reinforces that perfectly.”
The Efteling Grand Hotel is the largest hotel at Efteling, with seven floors, and 140 rooms and suites.
