Rosewood Amsterdam’s Asaya Spa provides a holistic wellness retreat, combining Eastern healing traditions with modern therapies in a serene urban oasis.
Every aspect of the property’s design honors its storied past while embracing modern refinement and creativity.

Rooms & Houses
Embracing a palette of rich greys and deep blues, each guest room is designed to spark moments of unexpected delight and evoke the comfort and intimacy of a well-curated home. Among them, five exceptional Houses stand as the largest and most distinctive suites, offering an elevated experience of space, character, and tribute to the city.
The five signature Houses at Rosewood Amsterdam offer an immersive stay, each capturing a unique facet of the city’s rich heritage and creative spirit, embodying freedom, individuality, and playful design. Named after the city’s area code, Huis 020, set along one of the capital’s most picturesque waterways, draws inspiration from the typical Dutch tradition where large windows invite the outside in, offering glimpses of life, artistry, and personal expression.
The Art of Nature by Piet Oudolf
Designed by celebrated Dutch landscape architect Piet Oudolf, De Tuin brings a vision of biodiversity and native flora to life, seamlessly merging nature with the vibrancy of urban Amsterdam. This living canvas holds deep personal significance for Oudolf, embodying his philosophy of embracing the present moment. A transformative space that redefines the concept of gardens, De Tuin invites visitors to experience nature as a dynamic art form. Each season within this sanctuary unfolds as a source of inspiration, offering moments to reconnect with both nature and oneself.
Timeless Flavours and a Toast to Justice
At Rosewood Amsterdam, the food and beverage offerings are guided by a deep commitment to impact, sustainability, and an authentic sense of place. From refined dining to rebellious mixology, the hotel’s venues seamlessly blend Amsterdam’s dynamic energy with a dedication to seasonal ingredients, creativity, and culinary excellence. The collection of dining experiences – including a distinguished restaurant, an avant-garde cocktail bar, and a vibrant lobby lounge – serves as a gathering space where locals and international guests come together in celebration.
Eeuwen
The hotel’s signature restaurant, Eeuwen, offers an immersive dining experience that embraces nature’s rhythms and the art of savouring. Under the direction of Chef de Cuisine David Ordóñez, whose background spans Michelin-starred establishments, Eeuwen presents a seasonal, ingredient-driven menu that highlights slow dining at its finest. From the perfect time to harvest to the precise cooking techniques and, ultimately, the leisurely enjoyment of each dish, every aspect of Eeuwen, Dutch for “centuries”, is orchestrated around the art of timing. Designed by interior design firm Sagrada as a timeless brasserie with a botanical aesthetic, inspired by Amsterdam’s historical greenhouses, Eeuwen’s interiors reflect a harmonious balance between nature and urban elegance.
Dishes are thoughtfully composed to highlight the essence of each element, often elevated by Ordóñez’s signature sauces. From refined dinner plates featuring Oesterij oysters from the Dutch village of Yerseke, seafood from Zeeland and the North Sea, every dish tells a story of its origin and season. At Eeuwen, time is not simply linear, but unfolds through each dish, reflecting its unique season, place, and purpose.
Advocatuur
At the heart of Rosewood Amsterdam’s cocktail culture lies Advocatuur, a bar that reimagines mixology through the lens of history and bold innovation. Named after the Dutch word for ‘legal practice’, the bar pays tribute to the location’s storied past as part of the Palace of Justice. The legal profession continues to be an integral part of the Palace’s history and will play a significant role in the future of Advocatuur, reflecting both heritage and the bar’s continuous evolution.
Tucked within Advocatuur is an intimate, speakeasy-style Distillery where ‘Provo’ is crafted in tribute to the Netherlands’ centuries-old Jenever tradition. Provo’s name pays tribute to the subculture that existed from the 1950s and 1960s, known for its rebellious spirit and creativity, reflecting the rich cultural heritage and innovative spirit of Dutch distilling. Rosewood Amsterdam tasked Master Distiller, Alex Davies, to create the perfect Jenever recipe.
The Court
A true gathering place at any hour, The Court serves as the heart of Rosewood Amsterdam’s social scene. From morning light to late-night revelry, this lobby lounge offers an exquisite selection of local and international comfort food, indulgent patisseries, and a refined afternoon tea experience. As evening falls, The Court becomes a haven for intimate conversations over expertly crafted nightcaps, embodying the vibrant spirit of Amsterdam in every moment. Breakfast delights include Dutch favorites like ‘poffertjes’, alongside options such as truffle omelette and Balik Tsar Nikolaj salmon. Throughout the day, guests can enjoy refined all-day dining selections like North Sea lobster rolls, imperial caviar, and vegan ‘galbi’ sliders, celebrating both local flavors with local inspiration.
Asaya Spa
Asaya Spa at Rosewood Amsterdam is a transformative urban wellness retreat, blending ancient Eastern healing practices with innovative Western therapies to restore balance and rejuvenation. Spanning 560 square meters, the spa features a pool, sauna, steam room, and five treatment rooms, including a couples’ suite.

Rooted in the five pillars of emotional balance, physical therapies, fitness, skin health, and community, Asaya fosters self-discovery and lasting wellness in the heart of Amsterdam.
An ExclusiveGesamtkunstwerk
At Rosewood Amsterdam, art is not decoration. It’s a dialogue. It’s an invitation. It’s a discovery and it plays an integral role in the atmosphere of the hotel. With over a thousand works thoughtfully placed throughout the property, the collection invites guests to pause, look closer, and slowly discover. It doesn’t follow a single style or period, but instead moves between the traditional and the contemporary—honoring the legacy of the Dutch Masters while giving space to a new generation of artists. From the monumental Statica by Studio Molen at the entrance to Frank Stella’s vibrant Polish Village reliefs and Maarten Baas’ whimsical Grandfather Clock, each artwork offers a layered narrative rooted in Amsterdam’s culture. The art collection highlights creative talents around four core themes. Innovative Media features a collaboration with Amsterdam’s Nxt Museum, bringing digital art to life on a large screen in the lobby, with a focus on emerging digital artists. Urban Artcelebrates the vibrant city culture with works by artists like Frankey and Rutger de Vries, capturing the essence of Amsterdam’s urban landscape. Re-Masters highlights established Dutch artists who re-interpret the Dutch masters, including the powerful visual expressions of Viviane Sassen, Maaike Schoorel, Levi van Veluw and Berndnaut Smilde. Next Generation Talent champions unconventional artists who reflect Amsterdam’s pioneering spirit, offering a glimpse into the city’s future through innovative and bold works.
A place for Connection, Culture and Conversation
Beyond its luxurious accommodations and exceptional dining, Rosewood Amsterdam is a destination for cultural exchange and artistic expression. The Gallery, a dynamic space at the heart of the hotel, serves as a living canvas for contemporary art, design, and creative collaborations offering a rare opportunity to align with a setting that values storytelling, exploration, and connection.
Meanwhile, The Grand Library, once a historic courtroom, has evolved into a hub for book readings, intimate gatherings, and cultural events. Complementing this, Ex Libris invites guests to immerse themselves in a thoughtfully curated collection of literature—enriched by contributions of the neighbors, each of whom offered a book of their own. Together, this creates a space for reflection, storytelling, and meaningful connection.
In celebration of Dutch Excellence, Rosewood Amsterdam appointed Amsterdam-based jewelry designer, Bibi van der Velden, as its House Jeweler. The collaboration embodies a perfect union of luxurious design and meticulous craftsmanship, highlighting a shared commitment to elegance, authenticity, and bespoke experiences. Guests staying in House 020 can wear designs of their choice throughout the duration of their stay.
Guests are invited to glide through Amsterdam’s storied canals aboard a private Salon Boat—elegantly decorated and styled by Studio Piet Boon and crowned with a modern-day figurehead: a lion sculpted by the playful hand of Frankey, reimagining tradition with a wink to the present.
This spirit of reinvention is echoed throughout Rosewood Amsterdam, where time-honored heritage meets contemporary imagination. A sanctuary where history, culture, and innovation flow effortlessly together, it offers an intimate passage into the very soul of the Dutch capital.
