Why It Matters
One of the few genuinely intimate hotels in Amsterdam's upscale Oud-West neighborhood. Steps from Vondelpark, 15 minutes on foot to the Museumplein museums, and positioned on a serene, car-quiet street that feels nothing like a hotel zone.
Three beautifully restored 19th-century red-brick townhouses on a quiet residential street just off the Vondelpark. The property opened under the Pillows Hotels brand in January 2017 after a full renovation and has since been rebranded as Maison ELLE Amsterdam — a French lifestyle hotel concept. The building is the same: elegant, calm, with a private garden out back and a neighborhood feel that keeps you well away from the tourist crowds.
Where You'll Stay
7 room types available
Chambre Double Deluxe
16m² room on the historic front side of the 19th-century building. More space than the Comfort, with street-facing windows onto the handsome Anna van den Vondelstraat.
Double (160 x 200 cm) · 16 sqm
Comfort Room
The entry-level room. Compact at 14m² but well-designed with minimalist French-touch decor. Good for solo travelers or anyone who plans to spend most of their time exploring the city.
Double (160 x 200 cm) · 14 sqm
Deluxe Double Room Garden View
Compact 15m² room with garden views. Bright and quiet — one of the better-value options if you want to wake up looking at greenery rather than the street.
Double (160 x 200 cm) · 15 sqmELLE Signature Room
23.5m² on the ground floor. Has the brand's signature look — clean, fresh ELLE magazine-inspired style with a spacious bathroom, separate toilet, and generous closet space. Good if you're bringing a proper wardrobe.
Double (160 x 200 cm) · 23.5 sqmGrand Deluxe Room
The standout standard room at 33m² on the third floor. Original 19th-century design elements are still visible — think period details alongside modern comfort. The extra space makes a big difference in a city where hotel rooms run small.
King (180 x 200 cm) · 33 sqmSuite
At 48m², this is the biggest room in the house and the one to book for a special occasion. Separate living and sleeping areas, a private terrace, a spacious bathtub, and a walk-in shower. Under the old Pillows branding, the suite terrace overlooked the private garden — a proper hideaway in the middle of Amsterdam.
King (180 x 200 cm) · 48 sqmSuperior Room with Terrace
23m² with a private terrace — a real upgrade in Amsterdam where outdoor space is a luxury. Big windows, a larger bed (180 x 210 cm), and extra breathing room make this one of the better mid-tier choices.
