What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The hotel’s restaurant and bar, the Lobby, is a popular local hangout in itself — decorated with velvet stage curtains, stage lights, and vintage black and white show posters.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Set along the pedestrianized theater alley of Nes, the front door is steps from Dam Square and quiet canal crossings.
The rooms
Loft-style spaces combine exposed concrete walls and dark timber floors with faded oriental rugs, vintage furnishings, and gold wallpaper.
Restaurant
The Lobby Nesplein
Tables spill onto the cobblestone square for Dutch French toast by morning and bistro plates at night.
At the table
Tufted leather armchairs sit beside tall wooden bookshelves and an open mantel for quiet reading and drinks.
How it began
A family of twelfth-generation Amsterdammers converted a former office building on the historic theater street into a stage-inspired boutique hotel.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.

Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.

The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
