Amsterdam Rai
Bold, colorful, design-forward. Six distinct room themes based on the building's cardinal-facing sides mix Japanese, Mexican, African, and Middle Eastern visual languages. The vibe is creative and slightly irreverent — the hotel literally has a 'voice' with a sense of humor according to guests.
Request a room on the 17th floor or higher for the best skyline views — rooms below floor 11 look into the surrounding business district
Why It Matters
An OMA-designed architectural landmark that is both the largest hotel in the Benelux and a genuine design statement. The stacked-triangle form is instantly recognizable on the Amsterdam skyline. Rooms come in six world-culture-inspired designs, there's a rooftop Latin American restaurant on floor 24, and the whole thing sits literally adjacent to the RAI Convention Center.
This is one of the most architecturally bold hotels in the Netherlands. Designed by Reinier de Graaf of OMA (Rem Koolhaas's firm), the 91-meter tower is built from three stacked triangular volumes, each rotated from the one below — a direct reference to the old Signaal advertising column that once stood on Europaplein. Inside, it delivers exactly what the outside promises: 650 rooms drowning in color, a lobby with pink reception desks and giant koi fish suspended from the ceiling, and a rooftop Latin American restaurant with 360-degree city views. It's the largest hotel in the Benelux, but it doesn't feel like one.
Where You'll Stay
10 room types available
nhow Junior Suite
Don't let 'junior' fool you — these come with a jacuzzi, a full bath, and a separate rain shower. Generous space, the works. One of the clear upgrade targets if you want a serious bathroom situation.
nhow Penthouse Suite
The top of the house: a two-story suite with a private roof conservatory and spectacular views of Amsterdam spread across two levels. As out-there as the building that contains it. Exact room size not published but it's the largest accommodation in the hotel.
nhow Premium Mood Room with View
The most tech-forward room category. Press a button and the lights, music, and ambience shift to match your mood — night out, workout, spa session. Located on the higher floors with full city views. A genuinely clever feature rather than a gimmick.
nhow Premium Room
A step up from the standard nhow Room with more space to spread out. Same colorful global design themes. Exact sizing not published but noticeably more generous than the base rooms.
nhow Premium Room with View
Perched on the higher floors, these rooms run 27.5–32m² and catch serious Amsterdam skyline. Choose king or twin beds. Natural light pours in through full-height windows all day. Good balance of space, views, and price.
King or Twin · 30 sqmnhow Premium Room with View & Bath
Located above the 17th floor, these 27.5–32m² rooms add a full luxurious bath to the premium view package. King or twin beds, floor-to-ceiling windows, and a proper soak with a view.
King or Twin · 30 sqmnhow Room
The entry-level nhow room comes in six designs inspired by the cardinal direction that particular room faces (South, East, North, South West, South East, North West). Each design pulls from global cultural influences — think Japanese prints, African motifs, Mexican patterns. King or twin beds, floor-to-ceiling windows, large rain shower, and a complimentary L'OR Espresso machine.
nhow Room Single
Compact solo traveler option at around 14m². Small in footprint but still packing floor-to-ceiling windows, a rain shower, and the same bold global design aesthetic as the rest of the hotel. Designed for business guests or solo explorers who want style without overpaying for space.
14 sqmnhow Room Single with View
The solo-traveler version of the view rooms, starting on the 11th floor and above. Around 14m², with all the single room essentials plus genuine Amsterdam panoramas through full-height windows.
14 sqmnhow Room with View
Same design DNA as the standard nhow Room but located above the 11th floor, so the floor-to-ceiling windows actually deliver. Available as a 14m² single or a 24m² double. Complimentary coffee or tea included. Six design themes based on cardinal directions.
