Cycas Hospitality are a hotel management company that prides itself on making a difference by being different. Our vision is to be Europe’s leading hotel company, and every member of our team must play their part in delivering exceptional service to our guests, our owners and our colleagues in order to achieve this.

Cycadettes transform hotels. We make working hard look like fun, whilst having a huge amount of fun working hard and delivering success and results.

Houthavens Hotels are the first dual branded property in The Netherlands; 2 hotels operating in 1 building!

Residence Inn by Marriott is an extended stay brand whereby our guests stay for longer periods of time. It is up to us to make them feel at home with our family of associates!

#ATTHEMOXY, we created a free-spirited place where our guests can do all that crazy stuff, they would never think of doing at home, together with likeminded spirits they had otherwise never met! Wi-Fi is speedy, and the cushy beds are freshly made, but more importantly, the bar is always open and ‘the crew’ is always on duty to serve.
