The former Public Library on the Prinsengracht Canal, was reborn as the luxury-lifestyle Andaz Amsterdam Prinsengracht hotel in October 2012. With a superb location in the cultural heart of Amsterdam, the hotel feeds off the creative energy of the lively Jordaan district and the charming Nine Streets, just a short stroll away. Guests can trust in uncomplicated, personalized service and unique local experiences, in an atmosphere that authentically embraces the best of Amsterdam through its eccentric design by world renowned Marcel Wanders. Around every corner there is another story and the 122 stylish guestrooms, including five suites, one with a penthouse terrace, the largest hotel terrace in the city overlooking Amsterdam’s canals, are no different. Stylish and spacious rooms and suites feature bespoke artworks, quirky design features and inspiring views over the picturesque canals, the observatorium-themed atrium, or the hotel’s secret garden. Every space in the hotel, uniquely designed by the iconic Dutch designer Marcel Wanders, reflects a modern and adventurous view of Dutch history, local culture, video art and the Alice in Wonderland’s dream world. Guests will find grand princes in our garden, video art in the chandeliers, as well as tulip chairs, historic maps and iconic illustrations reminiscent of Dutch history. All illustrations are taken from books found in the former Public Library. Something totally unique, the hotel boasts the largest video art collection in Europe and over 50 works can be found in the public areas and guest corridors.
