Design reference to Golden Age
Each aspect of Waldorf Astoria Amsterdam reflects understated luxury, from the refined tranquil interiors that reference the canal waters and famous Dutch paintings, to the framed views of the canals and gardens. The atmosphere is authentic and sophisticated, paying homage to the history of the original buildings with modern and refreshing accents. Carefully sourced finishes, design details, textures and products relate directly to the story of Amsterdam during its Golden Age.


Rooms and suites with their own character
Each of the 93 guestrooms and suites are graced with their own individual character, decorated in soft and elegant furnishing with accents of lapis lazuli and stronger ochre colours referencing Holland’s own Vermeer, whose paintings include 'The Girl With A Pearl Earring.' Natural light is maximized through floor to ceiling windows framed by subtle drapery. Exquisite fabrics, soft textures and upholstery and luxurious bed linen balanced with sophisticated furniture creates a sumptuous residential feel giving guests the feeling of home comforts in exceptionally luxurious surroundings.




Unique culinary experiences
The Kitchen Team of Waldorf Astoria Amsterdam is led by the Two Michelin Star Chef, Sidney Schutte. He developed a gastronomic vision in which the distinctive philosophy, qualities and values of Waldorf Astoria merge with his years of international experience as a Chef at the highest level. He is praised for his own identity, balanced flavour combinations, the mix of local products and influences from modern world cuisine and his creative vegetarian dishes.

The restaurant, named by that time Librije’s Zusje, received two Michelin stars seven months after opening in 2014. Since January 2019, the two-star restaurant has its new name, Spectrum.
