To arrive at De L’Europe is to open a window to Amsterdam’s past and present. Located in the city’s heart, overlooking the Amstel River and in walking distance of the lively and sophisticated Museum Quarter, De L’Europe has been a favorite of Amsterdam’s elite since 1896 and continues to attract luminaries from around the world. Guest rooms and suites in the historic Rondeel building and the contemporary Dutch Masters Wing are adorned with replicas of works by Rembrandt, van Rijn, Frans Hals, and other Dutch Masters. A vast and exceptional array of dining choices range from the two-Michelin-starred Bord’Eau Restaurant Gastronomique to one of Amsterdam’s largest outdoor terraces to an extraordinary, 8,000-bottle wine cellar.

Guests seeking a serene spa retreat will find it at the hotel’s pampering Skins Institute, while those ready to take on the myriad attractions of this cosmopolitan city can do so from the comfort of a chauffeured Mercedes via the hotel’s private touring service.


Dining

Bord’Eau: Michelin-starred, De L’Europe’s signature restaurant invites guests on an extraordinary culinary adventure guided by Executive Chef Bas Van Kranen.

Hoofdstad Brasserie: Led by Chef Sebastian Baquero Garces, this Parisian-chic bistro is taking Amsterdam by storm. Guests enjoy sweeping city views as they feast on seasonal fresh European brasserie fare, prepared with a modern, playful twist.

Hèt Terras: Set along the canal, this summer hotspot is among Amsterdam’s largest outdoor patios, providing a charming al fresco setting for a menu of eclectic bites and local specialties.

Promenade: De L’Europe’s Promenade is set along a grand passageway at the heart of the hotel. In this gallery-like setting, guests can savor a comprehensive list of old- and new-world wines by the glass, an authentic London High Tea, cocktails, and a light menu of gourmet snacks.

Freddy’s Bar: Frequented by Amsterdam’s glitterati, famous Freddy’s serves up the city’s finest Bloody Mary and the only Light Heineken Beer on tap outside the U.S.. The adjacent Freddy’s Fumoir is fashioned after an old-world gentleman’s club (although women are more than welcome here to share an après-dinner smoke and cognac). A walk-in humidor is stocked with the finest selection of cigars from around the world.

Les Caves De L’Europe: The hotel’s impeccable wine cellar holds 8,000 bottles and 800 labels. Guests can arrange exclusive tours with the head sommelier, who is a winemaker in his own right.

De L’Europe hosts Amsterdam’s most sophisticated business and social affairs for up to 100 guests. There are seven private event spaces — each utterly distinct in style — ranging from a private bar to a library to a boardroom. Many can be connected and all are supported with the latest technology and expert planning and catering services.

Spa and Wellness

Skins Institute: This urban retreat features four treatment rooms, infrared sauna, traditional Finnish sauna, Turkish steambath, swimming pool, beauty salon, and a Relaxation Room with a patio overlooking the Amstel River. Guests can select from an extensive spa menu of facial and body treatments, then browse the spa boutique for unique organic products to take home.

Fitness Studio: The fitness studio is stocked with Techno Gym cardiovascular and resistance equipment, as well as free weights and workout balls. A personal trainer is available by appointment.
