These venues are within walking distance of each other and can be seamlessly combined. Whether it's an original team-building event, an elegant dinner, a spectacular wedding, or a corporate gathering, Claus brings people together for every occasion!

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. A trained and professional team, including dedicated event managers at Claus, is ready to provide complete support so you can focus on other essential matters, such as crafting your message, giving your guests the attention they deserve, and maximizing the impact of your gathering.

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.

Claus Bowling & 50s Diner

With 20 modern bowling lanes, Claus Bowling is the largest bowling center in the Haarlem, Haarlemmermeer, and Amsterdam region. You can choose traditional bowling, Cosmic bowling, or be one of the first in Europe to try the new Hyperbowling game. Alongside the bowling lanes, you'll find an American diner with a 1950s theme.
