Rosewood Amsterdam

The Setting: A Former Palace of Justice on the Prinsengracht

Rosewood Amsterdam is a luxury hotel set inside the former Palace of Justice, a building first raised in 1665 that served the city’s courts for almost two hundred years. It stands on the Prinsengracht in the UNESCO-listed canal district, between the boutiques of the Nine Streets and the galleries and cafes of the Jordaan, with the Rijksmuseum, the Van Gogh Museum and the Anne Frank House all within walking distance. Amsterdam-based Studio Piet Boon led the restoration, pairing the building’s original detail with natural stone, deep blues and bespoke furniture. More than 1,000 works of art hang throughout, and The Gallery hosts a new exhibition each month.

Amsterdam rewards a visit in any season. Spring brings tulip season and King’s Day at the end of April, summer the long, light evenings on the canals, and winter the Amsterdam Light Festival, when installations line the waterways from late November into January.

Rooms, Suites and the Houses

There are 134 rooms in all. Entry-level rooms start at around 35 square metres, finished in rich greys and deep blues with layered textures and curated art, and many look straight onto the canal; these are the ones to request, and your Travel Designer will ask for one when booking. Suites start at around 53 square metres and add a separate living room, and families can book connecting suites that keep everyone together without giving up space.

The five Houses are the hotel’s signature. Each is a self-contained residence with multiple bedrooms, original architectural detail and private butler service, which makes them the natural choice for longer stays, families and friends travelling together.

Asaya Spa and the 12-Metre Indoor Pool

Asaya covers 560 square metres of the hotel. There are five treatment rooms, including a couples’ suite with its own jacuzzi, a 12-metre indoor pool, a sauna, a steam room and a 24-hour fitness centre. Treatments draw on Ayurveda, energy work and Dutch nature, with Dr. Barbara Sturm, Subtle Energies and the Dutch brand The|Tides, and the Recovering Traveler treatment is designed for jet lag. Pilates, barre and personal training run through the week, and the pool keeps a daily children’s hour for hotel guests.

Dining and Drinks: Eeuwen, The Court and Advocatuur

Eeuwen is the hotel’s restaurant, cooking hyper-seasonal dishes from produce grown on Dutch farms and just across the border. The Court is the all-day lounge, with coffee and breakfast in the morning, fine teas and tompouce, the Dutch custard pastry, in the afternoon, and drinks into the evening. Advocatuur is the bar and in-house distillery, where the cocktails are built around the hotel’s own Prøvo jenever. For an afternoon on the water, your Travel Designer can arrange the hotel’s private salon boat for a canal tour with Dutch treats on board.
