PB hotel design editorial

At the confluence of the Amstel river and the Nieuwe Herengracht, a red-brick château of Dutch Renaissance Revival architecture has anchored Amsterdam's waterfront since 1896. Designed by the architect A. L. van Gendt — who also gave the city the Concertgebouw — the building that houses De L'Europe Amsterdam commands its canal corner with stepped gables, arched dormers, and a mansard roof punctuated by decorative ironwork finials, its terrace extending over the water on a floating platform of white-canopied tables. A renovation completed in 2018, led by interior designer Marjolein Loof, deepened the hotel's conversation with Dutch Golden Age culture without retreating into pastiche: 111 rooms and suites draw on a warm palette of tobacco, terracotta, and sandy linen, with beds framed by woven fabric canopies suspended from dark-stained timber, Delftware blue-and-white ceramic lamps standing sentinel on walnut nightstands. The attic-floor rooms, their white-painted structural trusses left fully exposed beneath steep dormer windows, carry the atmosphere of a well-appointed Amsterdam canal house rather than a grand hotel floor. Downstairs, the brasserie Freddy's unfolds across a terracotta-and-cream chequered floor beneath coffered ceilings painted sage, its rattan-panelled walls and spiral-barley bar columns nodding toward mid-century Dutch café culture. The fine-dining restaurant Flore takes a darker, more considered register — brass-framed wine towers floor to ceiling, ceiling panels painted with cloud-scattered skies in direct homage to the luminous skyscapes of Jacob van Ruisdael, connecting this Victorian waterfront palace to the pictorial tradition that built Amsterdam's confidence in the first place.

"Exceptional Pre-Arrival Service from Sweta We have stayed at Hotel De L’Europe twice before and loved both experiences, which is why we are so pleased to be returning. Although we have not yet arrived for our upcoming stay, the pre-arrival assistance we have received from Sweta has already been exceptional. She has been extraordinarily responsive, thorough, and thoughtful throughout the planning process. She patiently answered our questions, helped coordinate arrangements for multiple family members, and paid close attention to the details that will make our stay more comfortable and special. We are traveling to celebrate two family birthdays, and Sweta has approached every interaction with genuine warmth and care. Her communication has been clear, professional, and highly personalized, and she has made the entire planning process seamless. Sweta is a wonderful representative of Hotel De L’Europe. We already feel extremely well looked after and are very much looking forward to returning in August."

"The hotel was excellent overall. Starting out, we arrived and the hotel staff immediately took our bags to deliver to our rooms. They got us checked in and gave us a tour of the hotel. Once in the room, Jordan arrived with our bags and gave us some more information about Amsterdam and its history. An amazing introduction to the city. We ate at the Marie Brasserie that evening. Wonderful views and even more amazing food. The staff was also fantastic. Overall, we have to come back. It was phenomenal."

"De L’Europe Amsterdam is an exceptional hotel in an incredible location, right in the heart of Amsterdam. Our Junior Suite overlooking the river and canals was beautifully appointed, offering stunning views that made our stay even more memorable. The hotel perfectly blends historic elegance with modern comfort. Despite being a historic property, everything felt fresh, immaculate, and exceptionally well maintained. The marble bathrooms are absolutely gorgeous—classic, timeless, and luxurious. One of the highlights of our stay was ending each evening at Freddy’s Bar with a cocktail. It has a wonderful atmosphere and was the perfect way to unwind after exploring the city. What truly sets De L’Europe apart, however, is the staff. Everyone we encountered was warm, welcoming, attentive, and genuinely eager to ensure we had a wonderful stay. Their hospitality made us feel right at home. A beautiful luxury hotel with timeless charm, outstanding service, and an unbeatable location. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again."

Kelly at the front desk, Mo helping us get situated and giving us a tour of the hotel and Jordan at the front door always with a smile and going the extra mile to help us get where we needed to go. Would definitely recommend and we will be back for sure!"
