Hotel Gastronomique De Echoput
Apeldoorn, Netherlands · Independent · Accessible Luxury
De Echoput sits in Kroondomein Het Loo, the royal forests of Palace Het Loo, named for the historic echoing well beside the road. The Klosse family arrived in 1955 with a tea house, then made game cooking famous enough for early Dutch Michelin stars. Peter Klosse rebuilt it as a 42-room gastronomic hotel in 2007, with wine cellars that still define the house. Grand Bistro Echo and Het Wild Atelier continue the line.

History
De Echoput takes its name from the echoing well at Hoog Soeren in the crown domain of Palace Het Loo. Jaap and Tineke Klosse opened a tea house in 1955 and developed a game kitchen that became one of the first Michelin-starred restaurants in the Netherlands (star 1971, second star 1985). Peter Klosse took over in 1985, specialised in wine pairings, demolished the old building in 2005, and reopened in 2007 as Hotel Gastronomique De Echoput. The third generation, led by Lodewijk Klosse, still runs the family house.
