Restored maritime hideaway
A restored 17th-century sailor tavern on the IJmeer dike, where guests swap the bustle of Amsterdam for quiet lakeside breezes.
“Both classic rooms and suites feel special, with ochre and putty-colored walls, armchairs in burnt orange, green, golden yellow or rust, and fabulously soft, velvety throws.”

What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
Inside you’ll find a hotel that’s a tribute to the house’s maritime history, but not a reproduction — the style is eclectic.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Along the Durgerdammerdijk dike, historic wooden cottages and reed-lined shores look out across the lake just fifteen minutes from central Amsterdam.
The rooms
Interiors feature wave-carved tulipwood headboards, smoked church-pew timbers, rich earthy palettes, and wardrobe interiors painted traditional insect-repelling sky blue.
Lake swimming
A swim ladder on the private wooden jetty leads straight into Lake IJmeer for open-water dips.
Restaurant De Mark
Chefs prepare seasonal Dutch produce over an open fire, with tables set along the lakeside jetty in summer.
How it began
Built in 1664 as an inn for seafaring sailors, the gabled clapboard house later served as a ferry terminal and royal retreat.
