A classical landmark transformed into a haven of minimalist chic, this beautiful hotel occupies a pair of 19th-century Neo-Renaissance-style buildings and two modern annexes on the banks of the Amstel River. Rising above the hippest part of town, 'De Pijp, ' the hotel enjoys a quiet location just outside the hustle and bustle of Amsterdam's inner canal belt. With elegant guest rooms and a stunning lobby featuring beautiful ceilings and arches, it's the perfect base for exploring one of Europe's most picturesque and exciting cities. The 154 bedrooms, suites, and studios reflect a comfortable and warm design, some overlooking the scenic Amstel River. Each room offers a unique ambiance, situated within the monumental Town Hall, the Archive Building, or one of the modern new wings. With ten meeting rooms, including the stunning Town Hall Ballroom with its original architecture facing the Amstel River, the hotel is ideal for business events, exclusive banquets, weddings, and cocktail parties for up to 160 guests. Enjoy complimentary access to our fantastic spa, featuring an indoor swimming pool, two types of saunas, and a well-equipped gym. Various treatments and massages are available for booking, offering complete relaxation. Visit our remarkable restaurant, ARCHIVE by Pestana, for a perfect gastronomic experience. Our chef captures the true essence of food, beverage, and hospitality. Open from Tuesday to Saturday.
