The Asaya Spa also features a pool, sauna, steam room and five treatment rooms, as well as a 24-hour fitness centre and Pilates studio.

Bibi van der Velden has been appointed as the hotel’s house jeweller. Guests staying inHouse 020 can wear designs of their choice throughout the duration of their stay. Other immersive experiences include guided garden walks through Piet Oudolf’s De Tuin, culinary workshops, and mixology sessions at Advocatuur. A private salon boat, also styled by Studio Piet Boon, is also available for trips on the canal.
