“Only sixteen suites, all different, in a 1915 banking building facing the Royal Palace.”
Hotel TwentySeven occupies the former headquarters of the Bank of the Netherlands, built in 1915 on Dam Square, facing the Royal Palace. Sixteen suites spread over five floors, all different, some with direct views of the Palace. We tested a suite on the third: oak parquet, coffered ceilings, Carrara marble bathroom, king-size bed under a 3.80 m height. Service is discreet, almost invisible, with a ratio of one staff member per room. The Bougainville restaurant on the ground floor has held a Michelin star since 2019. From 909 € per night, it's one of Amsterdam's most expensive addresses, but the Booking score of 9.5/10 from 244 reviews reflects rare consistency. We recommend for a special occasion, not for a routine weekend ✨
Who is it for?
Who we recommend it to
We recommend TwentySeven to couples seeking a confidential address for an anniversary or marriage proposal, far from the mass canal tourism. It's a hotel for travellers who prioritise bespoke service and are willing to pay for just sixteen suites. Fans of Dutch banking architecture and starred gastronomy will be satisfied here, but families with children will probably seek more space elsewhere.
The building
Architecture and interiors
The building was constructed in 1915 for the Bank of the Netherlands, in Dutch neo-Renaissance style with Art Nouveau elements on the façade. Interiors restored in 2012: original wood panelling, ceiling stucco, marble staircase, listed stained-glass windows. The sixteen suites occupy the former directors' offices, with volumes between 45 and 120 m². Each suite has a different name and unique décor, from classic Dutch to sleek contemporary.
At the table
Restaurants, bar, service
The Bougainville restaurant occupies the former banking hall on the ground floor, one Michelin star since 2019 under chef Jaimie van Heije. Contemporary French cuisine, seven-course tasting menu, wine list with 400 references. Breakfast is served in the suites or at the restaurant, with pastries from Hartog's bakery and Dutch charcuterie. No dedicated bar, but cocktails on request in the lounge or in-suite.
