We — Ruben, Jaron and Daan — all started our hospitality careers at Hotel Nes. After hotel school in Amsterdam, we each went our own way in the industry.
With more than ten years of hotel experience each — successfully operating and growing Hotel Nes, gaining international hotel expertise and developing a portfolio of hotels across Europe — we joined forces and founded RJD Hotels.
We aim to optimize the operations and performance of independent boutique hotels.
With Jaron’s operational strength, Ruben’s expertise in finance and Daan’s background in hotel development — and a shared passion for hospitality — we’re raising independent boutique hotels to a higher level.
Creating a warm and welcoming environment for our team, guests and community, making everyone feel at home.
Actively engaging with each other and guests to build strong relationships and outcomes.
We empower ourselves and others to take the lead, make decisions, and guide with clarity, confidence and care – regardless of title.
Staying true to oneself, communicating honestly, and acting consistently, contributing to trust and credibility within the team.
With energy and urgency, we strive to be better, dare to innovate and embrace new ways of working.
