Rooms
Split-level suites under century-old wooden beams offer panoramic views over the city skyline and verdant Oosterpark canopy.
Backstory
Founded as a girls’ orphanage in 1886, this landmarked building served as a refugee shelter and hippie hostel before its 2017 transformation.
Eat & drink
PARK serves Mediterranean-inflected dishes on a vast terrace where the boundary between the restaurant and city park disappears.
The neighborhood
Positioned directly inside Oosterpark, the hotel is surrounded by lush English-style gardens and the diverse culinary scene of Amsterdam-Oost.
“Many of the rooms are duplexes under original high ceilings, mostly tightly minimalistic but comfortable and warmed by colorful touches.”
