What they say
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
The hotel’s architecture takes inspiration from the industrial past of the neighborhood, with materials traditionally manufactured to preserve the original vibe of the building.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Set in Houthavens, Amsterdam's climate-neutral former timber port, where bike lanes link modern docks to nearby Westerpark.
The rooms
Self-contained apartments feature fully equipped kitchens, mid-century seating in warm ochre tones, and wide windows overlooking the water.
The spa
A traditional Finnish sauna and steam room sit beside foot baths and bright slatted changing lockers.
The gym
TechnoGym machines fill the 24-hour fitness room, where floor-to-ceiling windows look straight out across the IJ.
Restaurant
Brasserie Vessel
Wooden tables line the outdoor terrace for IJ sundowners, and a curved bar serves evening drinks inside.
At the table
Dining booths with chevron banquettes and an open kitchen counter serve seasonal comfort dishes throughout the day.
How it began
Named in tribute to timber company Boot & Co, the building incorporates solar panels and expressive Amsterdam School brickwork.
