It’s a stacked trio of triangular volumes, each one slightly rotated with respect to the others, and inside is the sort of riotously colorful boutique hotel
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set in Amsterdam-Zuid beside the RAI Convention Centre, the hotel sits right at Europaplein station for quick rides into the city.
The rooms
Full-height windows frame panoramic views, while vibrant geometric patterns and colour palettes shift according to each room's compass orientation.
The gym
Cardio machines and free weights sit on the tenth floor, alongside an outdoor terrace for skyline yoga.
Dogs stay too.

Latin American dishes cook over open charcoal grills on the twenty-fourth floor, surrounded by panoramic city views.

How it began

The rotated triangular layout borrows its shape from Het Signaal, a prominent 1961 advertising column that once stood on the site.
