Waldorf Astoria Amsterdam opens

Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts has opened Waldorf Astoria Amsterdam, the 25th hotel in its worldwide portfolio. This new hotel is comprised of six historic 17th and 18th century town houses at the Herengracht, built during the Golden Age.

Once home to some of the wealthiest and most influential residents of the city, the patrician houses have been lovingly restored to create an elegant 93-room hotel, full of history.

Each of the 93 guest rooms and suites offer great views of Amsterdam, whether it is looking out over the canal waters or over the peaceful private garden and rooftops of the city. Each bedroom airs the historical charm of the original buildings with beamed ceilings, sash windows and spacious bathrooms with freestanding baths to complete the authentic ambiance.

Dining at Waldorf Astoria Amsterdam is an exciting culinary experience thanks to an exclusive partnership with internationally acclaimed restaurateurs Jonnie and Thérèse Boer, owners of 3-Michelin star restaurant De Librije in Zwolle, The Netherlands. Sidney Schutte, former chef at De Librije, is now the executive chef at the new hotel.
