What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
It’s housed in a pair of spectacular Neo-Renaissance buildings, once a town hall and archive — together considered a national historic monument — and two contemporary annexes.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set directly along the River Amstel, the property sits a short walk from the buzzing market stalls and cafes of De Pijp.
The rooms
Minimalist canopy beds anchor sleek quarters, while top-floor rooms tuck beneath historic eaves with skyward-facing windows.
The indoor pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Pale stone surrounds the heated subterranean pool, and soft lighting illuminates the adjacent Finnish sauna.
The spa and gym
Underground treatment rooms offer holistic facials and Turkish baths. Next door, the gym has Technogym cardio and strength gear.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
ARCHIVE serves Portuguese dishes under a glass atrium ceiling, and the greenhouse bar pours cocktails beside the courtyard patio.
How it began
Built in the 1890s as the Nieuwer-Amstel Town Hall, the monument later housed the city archives before becoming a hotel in 2018.
