New Boutique Hotels in Amsterdam

Hotel The Noblemen

• Rooms from $297 per night (Double Room)
• Book now

Hotel the Noblemen opened its doors to guests in 2021, and it’s already made its mark on the city, with hundreds of positive reviews online and mentions in some prestigious magazines. The Times recently included Hotel the Noblemen in an article featuring 28 of the Best Hotels in Amsterdam.

This boutique hotel might be new, but its building, dating back to around 1663, is full of history. It even features the Noblemen Museum, with a collection of art and antiques to explore. In the basement is the tranquil spa, which features a sauna, Turkish Hammam, and a bathtub to help you escape the city’s bustle.

The hotel sits in the middle of the ‘9 Streets’, and recommends places to eat nearby, like Breda. Breda serves modern, international cuisine blended with Dutch and French influences. It offers taster menus starting at $83 per person.

There are just 13 rooms at Hotel the Noblemen, and each comes with its own historic story through the whimsical décor. A night here starts at $297 for a double room, and upgrading to a Signature room will cost you $447.

“The best stay ever! No request was too much, the staff were kind, enthusiastic, and we felt genuinely cared about. One of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed at, would absolutely love to come back again! Big thanks to all the staff, you guys work hard and are incredible!”Jasmine, Google

De Durgerdam

• Rooms from $404 a night (Classic Room)
• Book now

Also featured in The Times’ Best Hotels in Amsterdam is De Durgerdam, and it doesn’t get much more boutique than a lakeside hotel with only 14 rooms. This stay is ideal if you’re after some peace and quiet away from the center, yet you’re only a 15-minute drive away from the action. The design of this hotel is a perfect blend of Scandinavian minimalism and rustic lakeside charm.

A classic room costs $404 a night, but upgrade to a suite at around $704 with sweeping lakeside or meadow vistas. The on-site restaurant, De Mark, is led by Michelin-starred chefs and serves local, fresh, and seasonal dishes like North Sea Crab, oysters, and chicken with Dutch shrimp. Three courses start at $75, and you can enjoy your food on the decking overlooking the IJmeer lake.

There’s plenty to do near this hotel if you need time away from the city, and the De Durgerdam can help. Veloretti bikes are available to rent if you fancy strolling through the countryside and past traditional Dutch houses. You might try paddleboarding on Lake IJmeer or take a boat ride if you’d feel more comfortable.

“We had a wonderful time at De Durgerdam Hotel! It’s the perfect retreat for a weekend in the vicinity of Amsterdam, if you prefer coming back to a quiet and laid-back vibe. The rooms are beautifully decorated and cosy, and the food is out of this world.”Charlotte, Google

Pillows Grand Boutique Hotel Maurits at the Park

• Rooms from $357 a night (Luxury Room)
• Book now

We’ve returned to the center with our next hotel, Pillows Grand Boutique Hotel Maurits at the Park. This five-star stay is located in a quieter part of the city overlooking Oosterpark, just a short walk from Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum, 9 Straatjes, and other iconic spots. It made itself at home in a restored university building dating back to 1908.

Since welcoming guests in 2023, it has received several accolades, including being crowned TripAdvisor’s Best of the Best Luxury Hotel in Europe this year and being mentioned in the Michelin Guide.

There are 98 bright and modern rooms and suites at Pillows Grand, starting at $357. If you’re after a suite, they start at $508 a night. The hotel’s urban spa is available if you need a treatment to cure jetlag or muscle aches, like the hydrojet massage for $46, or the deep tissue massage for $156.

Foodies will be pleased to hear that this hotel has four places to eat and drink. If you’d like your drinks with a view, the Deck of Joy Rooftop Terrace is just the place. You might try the oysters for $17 or the beef tartare for $20 to accompany your drinks. Vanoost has a menu inspired by Japanese and French influences, so you can expect dishes like Indonesian Langoustine for $34.

“When can I visit again? Beautiful hotel with the most welcoming, polite staff. Maintained very well. The room was very comfortable. Breakfast was the best way to start the day. I will be back.” Will N, TripAdvisor

Hotel Estheréa

• Rooms from $371 a night (Double Room)
• Book now

We admit it, this one isn’t a new hotel; it’s been running for 80 years by the same family, but it deserves a mention. It has over 5,000 reviews on TripAdvisor and 4,430 on Booking.com, and has received accolades like a Customer Excellence Award from British Airways.

Hotel Estheréa proudly sits along the Singel canal and has been there since the 17th century. It’s even included in UNESCO’s World Heritage list. It’s in a prime spot for walking to key sights like Dam Square, the Rijksmuseum, and the Anne Frank House.

Ninety-one rooms and two suites are available, and they’re all unique. Each has been carefully designed and vibrantly decorated. Stay from $361 a night if you book a double room, but consider upgrading if you want other features, like a view of the canal, starting at $464.

Though the city is full of exciting bars and cafés, drinks and snacks are available at Maria’s bar in the hotel, like Dutch cheese or a bitterbal, and a range of cocktails in the evenings.

“Unique and stunning hotel. The staff were wonderful, always greeting you with a smile (including the 2 “house kitties”). Great bar, they don’t have a restaurant, but the bar bites were delicious. Coffee and water are always available, and cookies and snacks are occasionally. The location was perfect for walking anywhere in the central Amsterdam area. Janne, TripAdvisor
