Formerly the town hall, the hotel holds the last Mayor's old office - now a suite baring his name.
Step across the threshold of a building whose past is riddled with stories of intrigue, romance, and mystery. Originally the site of two convents - St. Cecily's Convent at the northern part of the property and St. Katherine's Convent to the south – this address came into being in the 15th century, when women vastly outnumbered men and Amsterdam was a city of monasteries and convents, a place where God’s graces gave way to hearts in search of holiness.
Your head will spin as you contemplate the trials and tribulations secreted away in the walls that now contain this majestic hotel. So prepare yourself… or let your thoughts strike a more upbeat note and simply enjoy being surrounded by a heady sense of history ensconced in present day luxury.
