What they say
Two Michelin Keys
Michelin
Also in Forbes Travel Guide and Condé Nast Traveler.
It’s an impression that makes perfect sense when you learn that this luxury boutique hotel makes its home inside a restored university building…
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The hotel borders the paths and waterways of Oosterpark in Amsterdam-Oost, right beside the Wereldmuseum and a short cycle from the canal ring.
The rooms
Interiors pair neutral palettes and high ceilings with heated floors, bespoke duck-down beds, and tall windows facing the park or canal.
The spa
Oak-paneled treatment rooms offer Susanne Kaufmann facials, dry hydrojet massages, and a private sauna suite.
The gym
Curved wooden treadmills, rowing machines, and free weights sit against mirrored oak paneling in the 24-hour gym.
Dogs stay too.
VanOost Restaurant
Tasting menus are served under 15-meter arched timber ceilings, with cathedral-scale windows looking out onto the park.
Housed in a historic university building the Pillows’ team put a momentous effort into preserving every historical detail of, there are stained glass windows and colorful glazed bricks.
At the table
Spring Café Brasserie extends onto a leafy park terrace, and Fitz’s Bar mixes craft cocktails over black marble.
How it began
Built in 1908 as a university anatomy laboratory, the brick monument underwent a five-year restoration before reopening as a hotel in 2022.
