History

Badhotel Zeerust started in 1934 as a small guesthouse in a double villa. In 1962, Joop Droogh took over from his father Lambert Droogh. He started an expansion and improvement program, adding many facilities and rooms to the former guesthouse. Joop Droogh married his former receptionist Ine Goossens in 1969. In 1977, he added a restaurant to the hotel and Ine started a career as maitre and sommelier. In 1978, the hotel consisted of 32 luxury rooms, conference rooms, swimming pool, sauna and solarium.

The restaurant lost its star in 1989, due to divorce and subsequently Ine Goossens leaving the restaurant.
