Ambassade Hotel — backstory

Backstory

First opened in 1953, the address gradually united ten individual 17th-century merchant houses along the Herengracht.

The neighborhood

Set in the Nine Streets, independent boutiques, photo galleries, and bustling cafes line the surrounding canal ring.

“Inside, the hotel enchants with old world elegance – chandeliers, oriental carpets – and Dutch hospitality – cheese and champagne for breakfast!”
