The Kurhaus is a prominent building located in Scheveningen, The Hague in The Netherlands. It was built between 1884 and 1885
by the German architects Johann Friedrich Henkenhaf and Friedrich Ebert (architect). It consisted originally of a concert hall and
a hotel with 120 rooms. Having suffered serious damage by fire, it was rebuilt between 1886 and 1887. The ceilings were painted
by the Brussels artist Van Hoeck and his large workshop. Several kings and heads of state sojourned in the Kurhaus during its
heyday. Until the 1960s the Kurhaus remained an attraction to the public by the many performances of top artists. One of the last
performances was by the Rolling Stones in 1965. Fallen into disrepair and closed in 1969, the Kurhaus was saved from demolition
in 1975 by being listed as a historical building. It is now completely renovated into the high-class Steigenberger Kurhaus Hotel
(the only hotel in the Netherlands of the German hotel chain Steigenberger Hotel Group) and casino. It was reopened in 1979.
