Amstel Amsterdam
Tech-forward design hotel with a social, art-heavy lobby culture. Minimalist rooms, maximalist public spaces. Designed by concrete (Amsterdam's own studio). Art curated by FOAM Photography Museum.
Book direct via Marriott Bonvoy or mycitizenM+ for the lowest rates; the mycitizenM+ annual membership (€150/year) pays for itself quickly if you stay twice or more
Why It Matters
The only citizenM converted from a historic Amsterdam School building. Art in every room is curated by FOAM Editions, featuring works by Isabelle Wenzel, Sanja Marusic, and Lisette Appeldorn. The facade carries an eight-window artwork by Freudenthal Verhagen. A tucked-away courtyard with outdoor furniture is one of those details you won't read about until you stumble upon it.
citizenM Amstel Amsterdam sits inside a 1928 Amsterdam School-style former bank building in the historic canal ring, and it shows. The bones are grand — restored original doors, high ceilings — but the interior is pure citizenM: bold conceptual art, Vitra furniture, and a lobby that doubles as a co-working space, bar, and general hangout. Rooms are compact (88 of them across four upper floors), but the XL king bed and wall-to-wall window make them feel considered rather than cramped. It's the smallest citizenM in the portfolio key-wise, which gives it more of a boutique feel than the brand's bigger outposts.
Where You'll Stay
2 room types available
Accessible King Room
Same format as the standard king room but configured for accessibility. Features roll-in shower, non-slip grab rails, accessible vanity, and a wheelchair-accessible layout. Deadbolts on door. Contact the hotel before arrival to confirm specific accessible features available.
XL King
King Room
Every room at citizenM Amstel follows the same format: one XL king bed, wall-to-wall window, powerful rainfall shower, and a bedside MoodPad iPad that controls lighting mood presets, blackout blinds, temperature, and the smart TV. The rooms are compact by design — the building's 1928 structure meant more square-shaped floor plates — but the desk sits at the window facade and the oversized bed dominates in a good way. Bathroom is a glass-walled pod integrated into the room. No minibar, no room service. Premium bedding with pillowtop mattress.
