Amsterdam
Heritage-meets-Dutch-contemporary. Interiors lean into a palette of grays, blues, creams, and warm browns — all very canal-light. The art program is serious, not decorative. The bar, Advocatuur, has a speakeasy-meets-courtroom energy with blood-red walls and its own jenever distillery on site. The mood throughout is residential and confident rather than grand and imposing.
Request an upper floor or interior courtyard room if noise is a concern — lower floors can catch canal and street noise until late
Why It Matters
The last major hotel to open in Amsterdam before the city's 2024 ban on new hotel construction. Set in the former Palace of Justice — originally built in 1665 — it is one of Amsterdam's few genuinely monumental canal-side buildings. The art collection of 1,000+ works is among the most comprehensive of any hotel in the world. The in-house PRØVO jenever distillery, tucked into one of the building's original holding cells, is a genuinely singular amenity.
Rosewood Amsterdam occupies a 17th-century landmark on the Prinsengracht that was, in a previous life, first an orphanage and then the city's Palace of Justice. After a ten-year, multi-million-euro restoration by Studio Piet Boon, it opened in May 2025 as 134 rooms spread across a building that Amsterdam's strict preservation laws wouldn't let anyone gut — which means generously proportioned spaces and intact original floors, ceilings, and woodwork. More than 1,000 contemporary and historic Dutch artworks are threaded throughout, including an interactive lobby sculpture, a Maarten Baas video clock, and a working art vending machine. The result is less polished-international-luxury and more genuinely Amsterdam.
Where You'll Stay
9 room types available
Canal View Executive Suite
Third-floor-and-above suites with panoramic Prinsengracht views and a generous living area. The bathroom is a proper spa-like space with a deep soaking tub angled towards the canal and a walk-in shower stocked with Votary products. Rates start around €1,560/night.
70 sqmCanal View Junior Suite
Junior suite configuration with direct canal-facing windows overlooking the Prinsengracht. The silvery-blue wall treatment echoes the city's waterways.
53 sqm
Canal View Premier Room
Same configuration as the Premier Room but positioned to face the Prinsengracht. Tall windows frame the slow rhythm of canal boats and cyclists. Worth the upgrade if you're doing Amsterdam for the first time.
35 sqmGrand Premier Room
Larger footprint than the standard Premier, with Delft-inspired design touches and chandelier details on upper floors. Second-floor rooms benefit from the highest original ceilings in the building.
42 sqmHouses (Five Signature Houses)
The five Houses are the most distinctive accommodation in the building — properly residential in scale, with up to 177 sqm of space, canal-side fireplaces, full kitchens, and a dedicated butler. Each House is themed around a facet of Amsterdam's heritage. Huis 020 (named after the city's area code) runs along one of the capital's most scenic waterways with oversized Dutch windows. The Library House has its own dining room. Herengracht House has an intimate living room character. They suit large groups, extended stays, or anyone who wants total privacy and doesn't want to feel like they're in a hotel at all.
177 sqmJunior Suite
Suites start at 53 sqm, offering separate living areas and the kind of space that feels genuinely residential. Layered textures, curated art, and views across internal courtyards or canal elevate the experience considerably from the base rooms.
53 sqmPremier Room
The entry point, and genuinely comfortable by Amsterdam standards. Rooms blend warm wood, natural stone, and weathered glass with a gray-and-blue palette. Each has curated local art, twice-daily housekeeping, Votary bath products, Dyson hairdryer, underfloor heated bathroom, Nespresso machine, Marshall Bluetooth speaker, and a 55-inch TV. A complimentary Veloretti bicycle is available.
35 sqmRooftop Terrace Suite
One of the signature suite categories, featuring private outdoor terrace space with panoramic Amsterdam skyline views. Proper sky-high canal-city vantage point.
Two-Bedroom Executive Suite
The family or group option — accommodates up to four guests with two king beds and two full bathrooms. Connected suite configuration maintains comfort without sacrificing design standards.
