The independent gavel classification serves to provide insight in the quality of service and facilities of meeting accommodations. It distinguishes 5 levels –expressed in gavels– based on for example the number of meeting rooms and their capacities, ICT & technology, and quality & service. An independent agency monitors all venues using this classification to ensure the reliability of the system.

Van der Valk Hotel ARA is classified a level 4 venue: our business facilities and service are of high quality.

The website that describes the standards for each level is only available in Dutch: www.vergaderhamer.nl.
