What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler and Wallpaper*.
Set in the monumental 1930s Bungehuis, a beautifully restored Art Deco edifice, Soho House Amsterdam is as fully realized as any of the other Soho House properties.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Perched along the Singel canal on Spuistraat, the house sits moments from Dam Square and the boutique-lined Nine Streets.
The rooms
Rooms pair restored 1930s timber panelling and geometric rugs with simple comforts, while select categories add freestanding copper bathtubs.
The rooftop pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Heated outdoor water fills the rooftop pool, flanked by fringed umbrellas and views across the city's gabled skyline.
The spa and gym
Cowshed Spa provides botanical facials on the ground floor. Upstairs, the gym positions treadmills beside canal-facing bay windows.
Restaurant
Cecconi's Amsterdam
A retractable glass atrium covers the ground-floor dining room, where chefs turn out cicchetti and handmade pasta.
The interior is composed of compact, moderately-scaled spaces that are flooded with natural light.
At the table
The fifth-floor House Kitchen serves club dishes amid timber-paneled lounges, velvet armchairs, and cozy cocktail bars.
How it began
Completed in 1934 as a trading headquarters, the Art Deco Bungehuis served as the university humanities faculty before its clubhouse revival.
