The hotel occupies three buildings constructed in 1906. Purchased in 1981 by Robert Roozendaal and Anne de Bruijn, it was transformed from a dilapidated property into a 3-star hotel. Their son Alex Roozendaal joined in 2000, leading modernization and sustainability upgrades while preserving historical elements.
“This renovated property balances historical charm with modern comfort in a quiet corner of Amsterdam. It's a family-friendly choice with exceptionally clean rooms and personalized service, including convenient bicycle rentals. The location, a short walk from Rembrandtplein and near a metro station, makes it easy to explore the city.”
