Situated within the historic former Palace of Justice, Rosewood Amsterdam, preparing to open its doors June 2025, marks the brand’s debut in the Netherlands…
After ten-years in the making, the city’s former Palace of Justice now welcomes a new era, as Rosewood Amsterdam gives this important landmark back to the city. Built in 1665 and situated on the UNESCO World Heritage listed canals, the property’s opening will set a new precedent for purpose-led luxury by embracing circular hospitality and collaborating with local partners. An extensive range of high-end amenities will bring to life the lens of Rosewood’s A Sense of Place philosophy.

Designed by Studio Piet Boon, the interiors of Rosewood Amsterdam honour the building’s heritage with a modern take on Dutch craftsmanship, combining historic grandeur with contemporary sophistication. Amsterdam’s intimate, vibrant, and accessible charm, along with its rich history, are captured through the thoughtful restoration of original features, such as cellblocks and courtrooms, reimagined for unique and exceptional guest experiences. Guests can also enjoy the city’s canals on a private Salon Boat, styled and decorated by Studio Piet Boon, providing an elegant and scenic way to travel to and from the hotel.
The hotel includes 134 elegantly designed guest rooms and suites, along with five signature suites, many offering views of the picturesque canals, peaceful courtyards, and classic townhouse rooftops. Guests will enjoy a collection of refined dining options, including three distinctive restaurants and bars, as well as an in-house distillery. Rosewood Amsterdam will embody the Dutch concept of gezelligheid — a ‘welcoming and cozy atmosphere’ — throughout its venues, while elevating the local dining and event scene.

Guests are invited on a journey to indulge their curiosities, connecting with the essence of Amsterdam’s past, present, and future. Through thoughtfully curated experiences, the hotel offers rich insights into Dutch culture, presenting a gesamtkunstwerk — a ‘total work of art’ — in service, comfort, art, cultural programming, retail, and design.
The property’s grand 223-square-metre ballroom provides a sophisticated space for events, while public areas feature intricate design elements that honour the storied past of the building and its surroundings. The property also features an Asaya Spa, a state-of-the-art fitness centre, and an indoor swimming pool. This debut marks a significant milestone for Rosewood Hotels & Resorts as it opens its first flagship property, in the Netherlands, continuing its legacy of curating unique and culturally enriching stays around the world.
