What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Here contemporary most definitely doesn’t mean modern. The Mercier’s style is retro, in keeping with its Art Deco heritage, though it takes certain postmodern liberties
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set along a quiet Jordaan street, the hotel sits steps from the Prinsengracht, independent boutiques, and classic brown cafés.
The rooms
Bedrooms combine vintage patterns and custom tapestries with burgundy subway-tiled bathrooms and walk-in rainfall showers.
Bar & Lounge
Patterned stools and velvet armchairs surround the curved wooden bar beneath a glowing globe chandelier.
At the table
Bonboon serves fully plant-based seasonal tasting menus in the dining hall beneath woven wall tapestries.
How it began
Founded in 1892 by social reformer Hélène Mercier as the country's first community house, the building later housed COC Amsterdam.
