About us
Set along Amsterdam’s iconic canals, De L’Europe Amsterdam is one of Europe’s most distinguished family-owned luxury hotels. Open since 1896 and owned by the Heineken family, the hotel is the only property in the Benelux awarded Three MICHELIN Keys and is a proud member of The Leading Hotels of the World. Today, De L’Europe is defined by its reputation as the Home of Original Amsterdam Luxury, where heritage, contemporary culture, gastronomy, and design come together with a strong sense of place. Thoughtfully reimagined in recent years, the hotel offers an authentic and character-driven expression of the city, both historic and modern.
Location
Occupying a prime corner in the heart of Amsterdam where the Amstel River meets the Rokin, De L’Europe enjoys sweeping river views from many rooms, suites, and its iconic riverside terrace, one of the city’s most coveted spots for an afternoon drink or evening aperitivo. The Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum, Anne Frank House, and the Nine Streets shopping district are all within easy reach. Amsterdam Schiphol Airport (AMS) is approximately 30 minutes away by car or direct train.
Facilities & Services
De L’Europe is home to 107 rooms including 55 suites, with highly flexible, multi-bedroom and interconnecting en-suite configurations, ideal for families. Approximately half featuring private balconies overlooking the canals or river. The hotel offers five restaurants and bars, including Restaurant Flore (two MICHELIN Stars and a Green Star), Brasserie Marie, Trattoria Graziella, the legendary Freddy’s Bar, and Chapter 1896, a library bar by day that transforms into a refined speakeasy after dark. The Spa offers Biologique Recherche treatments alongside a pool, jacuzzi, saunas, and fitness studio. For meetings and celebrations, five canal house-style event spaces overlook the Amstel River, with exclusive buyouts available upon request.
Brand Differentiators
The hotel spans two distinct worlds: the main building, home to the Royal Penthouse (approx. 2,368 sq.ft. / 220 m²), and ‘t Huys — a collection of historic canal houses offering a more residential experience, ideal for families and multigenerational travel. Families are further welcomed through Little Marie, the hotel’s dedicated children’s programme, featuring in-room surprises, treasure hunts, personalised itineraries, and a Van Gogh Museum partnership with dedicated family entry and exclusive keepsakes for every child. ‘t Huys also serves as a living microcosm of Amsterdam’s creative scene, where brands born and bred in the city take up permanent residence across fashion, design, beauty, and craftsmanship — a defining expression of De L’Europe’s contemporary identity.
Local Experiences
Guests may step directly onto a private canal boat from the hotel’s terrace, explore the city on complimentary bicycles, or join a Clefs d’Or concierge-led tour through hidden courtyards and neighbourhood gems. Through ‘t Huys, curated in- and out-of-suite experiences further connect guests to Amsterdam’s hidden cultural and creative addresses. From world-class museums to intimate local addresses, De L’Europe offers privileged access to the city at every level.
Easy Access
Amsterdam Schiphol Airport (AMS) is approximately 30 minutes away by car or direct train. Eurostar and Thalys connections link Amsterdam directly with London, Paris, and Brussels, making De L’Europe a natural anchor for multi-city European itineraries. Private transfers can be arranged by the concierge team.
Sustainability & Social Responsibility
Sustainability is woven throughout De L’Europe. Restaurant Flore’s MICHELIN Green Star reflects a commitment to seasonal, locally sourced, and waste-conscious dining. The ‘t Huys concept provides a permanent platform for local artisans and designers, reinforcing the hotel’s dedication to Dutch craftsmanship, community, and responsible luxury.
