Vibe
Marcel Wanders lighting illuminates deep purple velvet and original timber, while French doors open onto a rare triple-width courtyard garden.
“Canalside chiaroscuro hideaway”
Three seventeenth-century merchant canal houses with ornate period ceilings, original fireplaces, and private landscaped courtyard gardens.
Moody Dutch Golden Age chiaroscuro interiors outfitted with Marcel Wanders lighting, purple velvets, and Bisazza mosaic bathrooms.
Bespoke boutique touches, freestanding Philippe Starck bathtubs, and custom botanical bath amenities across twenty-three canal-facing rooms.
Along Keizersgracht by the Jordaan, steps from bustling canal cafes, galleries, and boutique shops.
Rooms
Dark timber floors and silk wallpapers frame open-plan Bisazza mosaic bathrooms, with freestanding Philippe Starck soaking tubs facing the Keizersgracht.
Backstory
Three 1640s merchant houses were converted in the 1950s by an American collector who filled the salons with Dutch antiques.
Eat & drink
Mornings begin beside historic fireplaces in the Great Room, before the intimate bar stirs Dutch spirits and botanical gin tonics by evening.
The neighborhood
Set along the Keizersgracht, the Jordaan’s labyrinth of indie boutiques, art galleries, and lively corner brown cafés sits just across the water.
