Huis ten Bosch, built in 1645, features rooms decorated with white vaulted ceilings and chandeliers. Among the rooms are the “Blue Salon”, the “Chinese Room”, the “Japanese Room” and the “Dining Room”, as well as an outdoor tennis court.
The King of the Netherlands, Willem-Alexander, will host a dinner at the Huis ten Bosch Palace in The Hague, in honor of the leaders of NATO countries who will participate in this summit.
This dinner will also mark the symbolic opening of the summit proceedings.
This is the first summit attended by US President Donald Trump. The US President is the only one of the leaders of the Alliance countries who will be accommodated at the Royal Palace during his stay in The Hague.
Donald Trump has changed his accommodation arrangements at the NATO summit from a seaside hotel to the 17th-century private palace of the King of the Netherlands, according to an official announcement from the Royal Palace.
King Willem-Alexander extended a royal invitation to his guest to stay at the "The Hague Wing" of the Huis ten Bosch Palace, located in the forests of the Dutch coastal city.
This means that Mr. Trump will not have much to travel after the dinner that King Willem-Alexander will offer to NATO leaders on June 24, while it was previously scheduled that the American President would be accommodated in Noordwijk, about 30 km away.
"The King did indeed offer accommodation to the President of the United States and he accepted that offer," the Royal Palace of the Netherlands told AFP.
The announcement states that it is tradition for visiting heads of state to be offered accommodation, but it is up to the guest whether or not to take advantage of the offer.
A similar invitation to Trump has previously been extended to Britain's Queen Elizabeth II and former US President Bill Clinton.
Ahead of the busy NATO summit agenda, Trump will also enjoy breakfast on June 25 with the king at the palace, according to his agenda.
Trump is known for his love of pomp, circumstance, and especially the royal family, often expressing his admiration for Queen Elizabeth II.
Huis ten Bosch, built in 1645, features ornate rooms with white vaulted ceilings and chandeliers.
Among the rooms are the “Blue Salon”, the “Chinese Room”, the “Japanese Room” and the “Dining Room”, as well as an outdoor tennis court.
The gala dinner will be held in the magnificent Baroque Hall of Orange. The palace is located in the Hague Forest, at the end of a long tree-lined path.
An AFP correspondent managed to cycle past the palace early on June 24, joining hundreds of Dutch commuters heading to work.
He reports that a beach resort has been closed for days in anticipation of Mr. Trump's visit.
The gondolas have also been removed for safety reasons and roads in and out of the city have been blocked.
But the American flags waving along the beach promenade should not be completely underestimated, as several members of the large American delegation will be staying there. / Adapt Pamphlet/
