Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set along Overtoom in Oud-West, the hotel sits a short walk from Vondelpark paths and the cultural district around Museumplein.
The rooms
Bedrooms feature custom timber headboards and wall paneling alongside exposed structural beams, finished with walk-in rainfall showers.
Restaurant
Café Woodz
Café Woodz serves a daily breakfast buffet of fresh pastries and cheeses beneath walls lined with woodcarving tool reliefs.
How it began
Built in 1890 as a family timber warehouse, every original structural wooden beam was cataloged, treated, and reinstalled during restoration.
