Parkside heritage roost
Glass pavilions open directly onto Oosterpark, connecting airy historic corridors and a monumental 19th-century chapel to surrounding greenery.
“the property fully embraces its secluded location at the edge of the city’s Oosterpark with double-height glass walls that give the new rooms a calming outlook.”

What they say
Also in Condé Nast Traveler and Wallpaper*.
A former orphanage beside a park, this is now a haven of minimalism, enlivened by the odd piece of ’60s retro furniture…
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set on the edge of Oosterpark in Amsterdam-Oost, the hotel offers leafy walking paths with tram stops just minutes away.
The rooms
Duplex rooms feature soaring ceilings, original timber beams, and large windows framing quiet views of the park canopy.
PARK Café-Restaurant and Terrace
Floor-to-ceiling windows and a suspended fireplace line the glass pavilion, which serves Mediterranean dishes beside the park terrace.
At the table
Drinks are poured across an island brass bar and slatted wood counters in the sunlit studio lounges.
How it began
Built in 1886 as a Catholic orphanage, the building housed wartime refugees and a community youth hostel before its hospitality redesign.
