PB hotel design editorial

Two seventeenth-century canal houses on the Keizersgracht, their dark-painted brick facades rising four storeys above the herringbone cobbles, contain what is now The Toren — part of The Pavilions Amsterdam group and one of the more theatrically conceived small hotels in the city. The property carries genuine history: one of the buildings served as a safe house for Jewish residents during the Nazi occupation, and the owners have preserved that weight rather than decorating over it. From the street, white-painted cornices and deep-set sash windows give the facade a graphic authority that distinguishes it from its neighbours without departing from the canal-house typology. Inside, the design commits fully to a Baroque-inflected maximalism that suits both the building's age and its dramatic past. Damask wallpapers in near-black and deep claret line the guest rooms, where gilded oval paintings of cherubs hang above beds dressed in crimson jacquard throws and four-poster frames with fringed canopy drops are deployed in the larger suites. The restaurant draws on dark-panelled boiserie, crystal drop chandeliers, velvet bergère chairs in tobacco and gold, and layered patterned wallcoverings that accumulate rather than compete. The bar continues the register — a marble counter, button-tufted walls in aubergine, another chandelier overhead — the overall atmosphere closer to a Dutch Golden Age cabinet of curiosities than to any conventional hotel interior. Across the property's 38 rooms, the effect is one of studied, warm excess.

"Another wonderful stay, this time in room 108 which was as gorgeous as can be. Utterly fabulous staff, all of them went the extra mile and made us feel so welcome and at home I can’t praise them enough. Great freshly cooked breakfasts, beautiful surroundings, so much effort and pride had gone into making this hotel my only choice when staying in Amsterdam. Perfect location, so peaceful and quiet yet right on the doorstep of everything. The balloons for my birthday in the room was such a kind thought. Overall I can’t fault this hotel and can’t wait to return."

"The Toren is a charming boutique hotel on a quiet street along one of the canals, yet just minutes from tons of restaurants, shops, cafés, and more. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. We enjoyed our hotel room, which was blissfully quiet and comfortable. There is a lovely little bar and dining area adjacent to the lobby where we had breakfast and hung out after a long day of exploring the city. We look forward to staying there again!"

"The Toren Amsterdam is a charming boutique hotel in a great location. It is beautifully maintained and within walking distance of the Anne Frank House, along with many restaurants and shops. Our room was comfortable, the air conditioning worked great, and having an elevator made getting to our room easy. We also had a lovely view of the canal. The room had nice amenities, and housekeeping did an excellent job throughout our stay. What truly sets The Toren apart is the staff. Every person we met was warm, welcoming, and incredibly helpful. We arrived before our room was ready, so we headed out to explore the city. Before long, we received a text letting us know our room was ready. When we returned, our luggage had already been delivered to our room, which was a thoughtful touch. Breakfast was delicious with a nice selection each morning. The hotel also has a cozy bar, which was the perfect place to enjoy a cocktail after a long day of sightseeing. We had a wonderful stay and would definitely stay at The Toren Amsterdam again."

"The Toren is a beautiful hotel. It looks elegant, feels elegant, and you are welcomed like you are family coming home from a long trip. We splurged for a canal view deluxe room, and it was stunning, both the view and the room. It is located in a great part of town, very quiet, right on the canal.This room was a couple of doors down from the main hotel, which I was concerned about initially, but turned out to be perfectly fine. All of the staff were super helpful, eager to share restaurant suggestions and places to visit. They are attentive to every small detail. The breakfast is delicious, abundant and served very quickly. We also had late night dinner/snacks at the hotel when most restaurants were closed. I hope to come back to Amsterdam again one day, and if I do, I will stay here again."

"We had a wonderful stay at The Toren. We booked a “cosy double room,” which turned out to be a comfortable size. Although we were initially concerned it might feel cramped, there was plenty of space for our luggage and to unpack for a few days. The room was very clean, quiet, and well air-conditioned, which was especially appreciated during the heat wave. We also opted for breakfast at the hotel which was worthwhile as it kept us full for most of the day. The food is made to order, and the staff were lovely. The location was ideal for sightseeing, and it was a pleasure to step out each morning directly onto the canal."
