What it’s good at
Listed
Locally roasted coffee and Dutch bitterballen served beside the waters of Tolhuiskanaal.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Buiksloterham is a post-industrial creative district in Amsterdam Noord, connected to Centraal Station by a free five-minute ferry.
The rooms
Smart beds convert into sofas at the push of a button, and wall dials adjust the room's mood lighting.
The gym
The fitness studio has Technogym cardio machines, resistance gear, and free weights set over rubber flooring.
Restaurant
Komyuniti
Timber seating pods and coral chairs sit beside floor-to-ceiling windows, served by a curved blue-tiled bar pouring Bocca coffee.
At the table
A five-meter glass wall opens onto the wooden deck, where morning buffets and sharing plates overlook the jetty.
How it began

Built in 2019, the modular structure was manufactured off-site in Dutch factories and assembled on the canal in eight weeks.

The eight vibes
Design
Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.
Luxe
Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
