“Sixteen suites only, 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 third-floor suite: oak parquet, coffered ceilings, Carrara marble bathroom, king-size bed under a height of 3.80m. Service is discreet, almost invisible, with a ratio of one staff member per room. The Bougainville table on the ground floor has held a Michelin star since 2019. From 909 € per night, it is one of Amsterdam's priciest 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 tourism of the canals. It is a hotel for travellers who prioritise bespoke service and are willing to pay for sixteen suites only. Fans of Dutch banking architecture and starred gastronomy will find their account 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 stuccos, marble staircase, listed stained-glass windows. The sixteen suites occupy the former directors' offices, with volumes between 45 and 120 m². Each suite bears a different name and displays 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 in suites or restaurant, with pastries from Hartog's bakery and Dutch charcuterie. No dedicated bar, but cocktails on request in the lounge or in-suite.
