Hotel de l’Europe
Amsterdam, Netherlands
Dutch Masters Wing, a newly opened all-suite annex with an atrium feel to it, features 23 boldly designed, spacious quarters. De L’Europe’s original Rondeel building, home to 88 luxuriously appointed guest rooms, has undergone renovation for a spring 2011 reopening. The hotel’s exquisite original Rondeel Building, a city-designated landmark and long considered an oasis of calm in the midst of Amsterdam’s buzzing city center, fuse timeless design elements with 21st-century comforts — some unexpected — including gently heated floors and motion detecting floor and bathroom lighting in each guest room. Guest quarters are swathed in impactful, bold wall colors in four different color schemes and beautifully furnished. Complementary accents like plush carpeting, hardwood floors, custom fabrics and fine linens, as well as Dutch Masters-inspired paintings adorning the walls create a sense of restful refinement.

The Cigar Lounge is reminiscent of an old-world gentleman’s club while au courant: lady connoisseurs are more than welcome to enjoy an apres-dinner smoke with a fine glass of cognac. A walk-in humidor offers the best selection from around the world.
The Keizerskamer Room is reminiscent of an historic Dutch library. Dark wooden bookshelves shortly filled with translations from famous Dutch authors align the walls, reaching from the floor’s genuine Dutch Delft’s-blauw carpet to its high ceiling.
Les Caves is the hotel’s wine cellar, and is long considered among Amsterdam’s best with over 1000 selections from the old and new worlds which expertly pair with a sumptuous meal. Head Sommelier Dannis Apeldoorn curates the selection and created a dynamic wine program where guests can enjoy tastings, touts and interactive seminars.

From Hals and Rembrandt during the Northern Renaissance to Van Gogh, Mondrian, De Kooning and beyond, the city of Amsterdam is renowned for its artistic legacy through the ages.
