Some buildings carry history in their walls. Clayton Hotel Amsterdam American is one of them.
Built in 1900 and listed as a UNESCO-protected historic monument, this Art Deco landmark on the banks of Amsterdam's canals has been welcoming guests for over a century. In 2025, we made sure it got the refurbishment it deserved.
The lobby was reimagined into a lively, multifunctional space, inspired by archival 1930s layouts and designed to move guests through with purpose rather than simply passing through. The breakfast room was meticulously restored to reconnect with the iconic Café Americain, featuring a beautifully crafted new buffet area that doubles as an intimate space for private dinners. Our meetings and events facilities were fully renovated, now offering flexible space for up to 150 people.
And throughout, the redesign stayed true to the building's character, reusing existing furniture and restoring the original Art Nouveau light fittings rather than replacing them.
Placing the Dalata difference in the heart of Amsterdam.
