Dear guests,
At Upstalsboom, we now address you personally as DU. Why?
Our origins lie in the heart of East Frisia - where people are simply friendly and direct in Low German. There's no "Sie" in this beautiful dialect - just a warm "Du".
We would also like to share this open and respectful approach with you.
Because we want everyone to feel welcome, seen and at home - from the first "Moin" to the last "Tschüss".
We, the team at the Upstalsboom Parkhotel in Emden, feel closely connected to the Frisian values of freedom, cohesion and cordiality.
We live community from this attitude - with our guests, with each other and with everyone we meet.
The name Upstalsboomstands for what makes our hotel special: a place of encounter where people feel welcome, laugh together and learn from each other. Our team brings this idea to life - through genuine warmth, attentive service and a sincere interest in every guest.
This makes our hotel more than just a hotel: a place of togetherness where guests and hosts alike feel at home.
The Upstalsboom Parkhotel looks back on an eventful past and an equally exciting history. Opened in 1990, our hotel was built under the watchful eye of our head office - on a site that has been in a state of flux for centuries and has always been part of living local history.
Originally, there was a medieval rampart fortress with a mill on what was then the banks of the River Ems. When the course of the river changed over time and the Ems bend silted up, the site was utilised anew: In the 19th century, excavations were made here for a new road and the first railway line and station (around 1850-1860).
Later, a striking water tower characterised the image of the site for eight decades before it was finally demolished. Only then did the chapter that is particularly close to our hearts today begin: the acquisition and construction of our hotel by the W. H. Janssen Group.
Today, we combine tradition and modern comfort in this historic location. Our hotel stands for warm hospitality, open-minded cooperation and respect for the past, which forms our foundation.
Welcome to a place where history remains alive - and where you can feel completely at home.
