Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Positioned on the Boerenwetering canal in Oud-Zuid, the front door sits minutes from Museumplein and the indie cafes of De Pijp.
The rooms
Canal-facing rooms frame the water through floor-to-ceiling glass, finished in warm terracotta tones with geometric textiles and dedicated yoga mats.
The gym
Technogym equipment and free weights sit on red chevron flooring under a glowing neon sign.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
The dining room serves made-to-order Dutch poffertjes for breakfast, and The Pantry stocks artisan coffee and salads around the clock.
How it began
A refurbished mid-century brick building was transformed in 2024, with interiors drawing inspiration from the nearby Stedelijk Museum collection.
