It’s easy to see why Hitchcock himself admired the Hotel De L’Europe. The grandeur, stature and elegance of its iconic façade lends itself beautifully to the classic vintage love affair that was the ’40s.
Standing proudly as the perfect backdrop to Hitchcock’s ‘Foreign Correspondent’ in 1941, the property has continued to welcome adoring fans through its doors; with eager top hat and tails on standby to provide a smile and a seamless check-in.
From the big screen to today’s selfie stick, the Hotel De L’Europe serves as the ultimate frame to be captured; the ideal Instagram opportunity. With its popularity ever-apparent, the brand holds on to its illustrious history, breathing continental sophistication and glamour of years gone by, into its very being. The past is alive, the present is harmonious and your stay should be nothing short of storytelling. The luxury traveler is invited to bask in its authenticity; to experience the true meaning of Dutch refinement.
[metaslider id=6005]Perched along the Amstel River in prime location, and in walking distance of the sophisticated Museum Quarter, Hotel De L’Europe is synonymous with history. Since its opening in 1896, the property has been favoured by Amsterdam’s elite and the world’s most celebrated names.
Described as a ‘unique entrée into the Amsterdam of yesterday and today’, the stunning building invites you in with the warmest of welcomes. On arrival you are met with deep red carpets, Dutch Fine Art from the renowned Rijksmuseum and rows of dazzling chandeliers; there are tales to be told within these walls.
Whether you are looking to indulge in champagne waterside, or gaze out upon the city from your rooms’ quaint balcony, there is something for every person, and palette, to enjoy. As the only hotel outside of America to serve the world-famous Heineken light on tap, self-serve from your bedroom, the property flirts with the magic of it’s owner; Freddy Heineken. As a nice addition to the F&B offering, the Freddy’s bar sits on the hotel’s corner, luring in passersby and the chic suits of today’s generation. Equipped with upright piano, brass taps and antiquated embellishment, guests can be transported back in time whilst sipping on the best G&T the city has to offer.
For the art aficionados, guests can admire true replicas from Dutch Masters in the rooms and suites, within the historical Rondeel building and the contemporary Dutch Masters Wing and enjoy rich décor and flamboyance throughout. Not only does Hotel De L’Europe boast the best location in town, but a whole host of extraordinary culinary highlights. With award-winning restaurants and bars, the hotel is a common favourite amongst locals and tourists alike; it’s a place for people to come together.
The hotel’s philosophy is to make their guests ‘feel at home in this 19th century treasure while exploring a modern vibrant city’, which, in short, is exactly what it does. The familiarity, personable approach and people are what make Hotel De L’Europe a leader in the Dam’s luxury landscape. Under the expert direction of its General Manager, Tom Krooswijk, it’s easy to see why the guests keep coming back.
Until the next time…
