Golden Age grandeur in Amsterdam

VERIFIED LUXURY

Learn How We Inspect

Waldorf Astoria Amsterdam enjoys an exclusive address on the city’s historic Canal Ring. Located just steps away from the Golden Bend, a stretch of the most prestigious properties in Amsterdam, the hotel spans six adjoined 17th-century mansions. As such, the buildings are steeped in history and retain the intimacy of stepping into a luxurious family home.

The heritage of these illustrious properties has been thoughtfully preserved, allowing you to experience Amsterdam at its grandest. As you move throughout the hotel, plaques inform you about the influential families who’ve resided there, dividing lines separate one house from the next and original features offer a sense of the hotel’s fascinating history.

On top of its background, the stunning hotel lavishes you with amenities, including a serene Guerlain Spa, an indoor pool, one of the city’s top restaurants (the renowned Spectrum) and your very own personal concierge.

Our Inspector's Highlights

If the palatial entranceway and carved staircase feel reminiscent of Versailles, that’s because it was designed by Daniel Marot, whose résumé includes assisting Jean Bérain (Louis XIV’s designer).
A dimly lit speakeasy-style cocktail bar is housed in the original vault of the MeesPierson bank.
You will be invited to choose a scent for your room from a selection by luxury fragrance house Cire Trudon (Louis XIV and Marie Antoinette’s preferred candlemaker).
The Amsterdam hotel showcases modern Dutch design in creative ways, such as calling upon local couturier Jan Taminiau to design the staff uniforms.
At the end of a softly lit, heavenly scented passageway, Guerlain Spa’s three treatment rooms await. Try the signature Fusion Experience that combines warm oil and ice bubbles in a revitalizing massage.
