Claus

For over 50 years, Claus has been dedicated to creating unforgettable experiences that bring people together. Each of our various event spaces has its own atmosphere and character, making them suitable for a wide range of events, both corporate and private.

Our Spaces

Claus offers an innovative and inspiring event location that constantly evolves. This venue boasts multiple spaces, each with its own character and ambiance.

The Patio

Situated in the old courtyard of the Mentzhoeve farm (dating back to 1858), you'll find The Patio—a spacious and multifunctional area (400m²) equipped with modern technology, natural daylight through the glass roof, a vertical garden with real plants, and an outdoor terrace. For events of up to 450 people, The Patio is the perfect space for corporate parties, conferences, plenary sessions, and dinners.

The Farmhouse

Once one of the stables of the Mentzhoeve farm, The Farmhouse has been transformed into a characterful, multifunctional space (175m²). It is suitable for events of up to 120 people and features a large fireplace and direct access to the spacious terrace. Ideal for a corporate or festive gathering, high-end presentations, or delightful barbecues on the rustic South African braai terrace. For groups larger than 450 people, The Patio and The Farmhouse can be perfectly combined.

IJzeren Frits

The IJzeren Frits has the look and feel of a stylish club with relaxed seating areas, providing space for presentations, meetings, or gatherings of up to 35 people (80m²). Additionally, the room features a pantry with the option for a full self-service arrangement.

BARRACA Rodizio Grill & Bar

At BARRACA Rodizio Grill & Bar, you can enjoy a unique Brazilian concept with a distinctive style of service. Various Passadores continuously circulate with large skewers, carving a delicious piece of meat at your table upon request. The Fresh Market Table also offers the very best fresh starters and side dishes. This allows everyone to experience the unique Brazilian cuisine.

Courtyard by Marriott

The comfortable 4-star Courtyard by Marriott Amsterdam Airport hotel features 260 hotel rooms and 10 meeting rooms, all within walking distance of Claus. The modern rooms are equipped with all the conveniences for both business and leisure travelers, including luxurious beds, air conditioning, soundproof windows and doors, USB outlets, smart TVs, and free Wi-Fi. Combined with Claus, the Courtyard by Marriott hotel is the perfect base for multi-day events near Schiphol Airport.
