Amsterdam is a city that’s come in and out of your life, and grown along with you. You may have first met the city in college for that stay in the local hostel (we know, of course you didn’t inhale). As your stature in life improved, so did your accommodation. And now, with Rosewood opening, there’s a reason to revisit Amsterdam.
Location
Rosewood makes a strong entrance in Amsterdam by revitalizing a known monument, the storied former Palace of Justice. This 17th century building has definitely traded gravels for galleries (quite literally, as it is holds over 1000 contemporary art pieces). Now, it is the new home of Rosewood Amsterdam. And it isn’t just a hotel — it is Dutch quality, sprinkled with charm. With it’s historical glamour, set on the UNESCO-listed canals, it offers a front-row seat to this city’s delightful contradictions.
Accommodation
When you think of Rosewood Hotels, what comes to mind are modern rooms and suites with a touch of local essence, equipped with everything you need to feel at home. And Rosewood Rosewood Amsterdam doesn’t just meet those expectations. It surpasses them. All 134 of the rooms carry a piece of authentic Dutch history in them. But if you want something truly unique, go for the Library House. It’s built in the actual old library. Think original architecture that still knows how to hold a dramatic pause, now paired with a hint of rebellious charm (yes, those graffiti-inspired accents are intentional). It is pure scholarly heritage, polished with high design. So, the vibe is anything but by-the-book.
Dining
If you can resist the seduction of the city and choose to settle in for the night, you definitely won’t be settling for less. The hotel’s restaurant, Eeuwen, focuses on hyper-seasonal food, so you’ll be in for some memorable al-fresco moments. And if you’re looking for a livelier atmosphere, head to the bar Advocatuur, and sip your way back to the 17th century with a glass of their in-house distilled spirit, Jenever.
Wellness
Rosewood Amsterdam’s spa centre, Asaya, is named after the Sanskrit word for “setting an intention.” And if your intention is to enjoy yourself, then you’re in the right place. Piet Boom designed the whole space, including the 24/7 open gym and pool, to embody all four elements: wood, water, wind and fire. It is less about quick fixes and more about meaningful transformation by the use of Eastern healing modalities, combined with Western therapies. Who knows, it might even help you bring back home a bit of that careless Dutch spirit as a souvenir.
