What they say
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
The most atmospheric Premium Rooms and Junior Suites retain exposed wooden beams, pitched ceilings and unusual split-level layouts reminiscent of Amsterdam’s old private houses.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Standing directly opposite Centraal Station, the entrance sits moments from the Basilica of Saint Nicholas and historic Zeedijk.
The rooms
Premium Rooms and Junior Suites feature original timber beams and split-level layouts, while contemporary rooms offer clean, neutral finishes.
The sauna and gym
A glass-enclosed Finnish sauna and Turkish steam bath sit alongside a fitness studio fitted with cardio equipment.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Restaurant Vermeer serves seasonal Dutch dishes across four historic townhouses, and Vermeers Wijnkamer pours global vintages next door.
How it began
An underground passage connects the seventeenth-century townhouse complex to the fifteenth-century Gothic St. Olof's Chapel.
