Getting divorced is never easy, but for certain soon-to-be-former-couples in Holland, it could be a bit more luxurious. Entrepreneur Jim Halfens offers carefully selected Dutch couples the opportunity to book a 3 day stay at a luxury hotel, during which time the parties will meet with various professionals to try to work out a final resolution of their divorce. According to at least one Dutch family law attorney, the $3,500 price tag for the “Divorce Hotel” is a bargain compared to the cost of a divorce.
Halfens says the goal of the service is to offer some couples a chance at a quick, amicable resolution of their divorce. Only couples who are committed to a resolving their disputes without a protected legal battle qualify for a stay in the Divorce Hotel – and so far only seven couples have made reservations.
