Two Amsterdam icons. One summer story.

What began with a memorable opening on 3 June now continues throughout the season.

Introducing The Bols Spritz Garden at the Amstel — where the world’s first cocktail brand meets Amsterdam’s Grande Dame on the banks of the river that gave the city its name.

A lush garden terrace inspired by aperitivo culture, vibrant spritzes, sunset views and long summer evenings by the water. Where Mediterranean summer energy meets Amsterdam sophistication.

Open daily throughout the summer.

Every grand hotel has its secrets. Few ever become a novel.

Last night, the Spiegelzaal became the setting for the launch of “In de schaduw van het Amstel” / “The Age of the Amstel”, written by .

What began as a search for a timeless way to capture the soul of the iconic hotel grew into a unique collaboration: a novel where fact and fiction intertwine to reveal the layered history of the Amstel Hotel in a way it has never been told before.

Inspired by archival discoveries, conversations with long-standing colleagues and countless hours spent wandering the corridors of the hotel, Sarah wove fact and fiction together to bring past and present together in a story that lingers long after the final page.

Guests stepped into The Age of the Amstel for an evening of champagne, cocktails inspired by the characters of the book, hidden bites among historical curiosities and a first glimpse into this remarkable literary journey.

The Dutch edition In de schaduw van het Amstel is now available in bookstores across the Netherlands.

A limited English hardcover edition, The Age of the Amstel, has been created exclusively for the Amstel Hotel — a collector’s piece shared with our guests on special occasions, inviting them to discover the history of the house in a way that stays with them long after they have left.

With thanks to .poisson for the beautiful styling and calligraphy corner, and for capturing the evening so wonderfully. More to come!

TIME TO TELL A STORY

Through the same window, the world changes. The Amstel flows as it always has, but the sounds shift. From the rhythm of today to echoes of another time.

This story begins in the present and moves backwards, uncovering layers of history often overlooked. Where modern life fades, the past quietly reappears. Not as nostalgia, but as lived experience.

A story where time doesn’t rush forward, but gently reveals what came before.

Stay tuned.

{From 4 March 2026, ‘The Age of the Amstel’ (English edition) will be available exclusively at the Amstel Hotel, and ‘In de schaduw van het Amstel’ (Dutch edition) in bookstores across the Netherlands}

TIME TO TELL A STORY

2026. Alma dozes off in one of the grand rooms of the Amstel Hotel, where generations of her family have worked. When she wakes, something has changed. The wallpaper, the light, the silence – everything breathes another time. She finds herself in 1870, just three
years after Amsterdam’s first grand hotel opened its doors.

Follow Alma as she moves through the centuries, uncovering the lives and choices that shaped this iconic hotel. Discover the warmth of its rooms, the whispers behind its mirrors, and the enduring spirit of those who walked its halls before you.

Stay tuned.

TIME TO TELL THE STORY

We cordially invite you on an extraordinary journey through the Amstel Hotel’s 150-year history.

As you turn the pages of 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘈𝘨𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘈𝘮𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘭, doors will open to hidden rooms and forgotten stories – from the flicker of gaslight in 1870 to the grand soirees of 1901 and the haunting silence of 1945. Within these walls, a secret long concealed finally comes to light.

The Age of the Amstel is a haunting and deeply evocative novel about mothers and daughters, memory and loss – set in a hotel that has witnessed more than it has ever revealed.

Until now.

Stay tuned.

A Meeting of Two Amsterdam Icons

On 20, 21 and 22 February, in celebration of Lunar New Year, the Amstel Hotel and Restaurant Hoi Tin come together for a unique four hands afternoon tea, uniting two institutions rooted in craftsmanship, heritage and hospitality.

TIME TO TELL A STORY
..about one of the most iconic buildings in Amsterdam.

Some stories deserve a different form. 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘈𝘨𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘈𝘮𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘭 was born from the desire to tell the layered history of the Amstel Hotel in a way that feels intimate, accessible and alive - shaped by time, memory and many hands. A story created to capture the soul of the Amstel Hotel like never before.

Author Sarah Meuleman has written a compact novel where fact and fiction intertwine, capturing the spirit of this iconic building where previous centuries meet the present, and storytelling becomes an experience in itself.

A story that weaves past and present, lingers long after the last page, and invites you to experience the Grande Dame of Amsterdam beyond her walls.

Today, we unveil the cover. The story will follow.
