Amsterdam's Iconic Palace of Justice Reborn as Rosewood's First Dutch Hotel

Following a decade of meticulous restoration, Amsterdam's iconic former Palace of Justice, originally built in 1665, opens its doors anew as Rosewood Amsterdam, the luxury brand’s first property in the Netherlands. Located along the UNESCO World Heritage-listed canals, Rosewood Amsterdam elegantly blends rich heritage with contemporary sophistication, redefining luxury hospitality through sustainability and local collaboration.

“Breathing new life into this historic landmark, we are honored to return it to Amsterdam, thoughtfully reimagined through purpose-led luxury,” says Radha Arora, President of Rosewood Hotel Group.

The hotel features 134 sophisticated guestrooms and five exclusive signature Houses, each inspired by Amsterdam’s artistic and architectural traditions. Interiors by Studio Piet Boon beautifully unite the grandeur of the past with modern elegance. Guests can explore De Tuin, a garden envisioned by famed landscape architect Piet Oudolf, offering seasonal beauty and a tranquil retreat.

Dining at Rosewood Amsterdam includes Eeuwen, an immersive restaurant experience by Chef David Ordóñez, spotlighting Dutch ingredients through a seasonal, slow-dining approach. Advocatuur bar honors the building’s legal past, with innovative cocktails and a speakeasy distillery crafting Provo, a modern tribute to traditional Dutch Jenever. The Court provides a stylish lobby lounge for casual meetings or refined evening indulgences.

The Asaya Spa delivers a serene urban wellness retreat, combining Eastern healing and modern therapies across five treatment rooms, a fitness center, and a Pilates studio.

Rosewood Amsterdam’s extensive art collection invites cultural discovery, featuring works from traditional Dutch Masters to contemporary artists. Interactive spaces like The Gallery and Grand Library foster meaningful cultural exchanges, complemented by exclusive experiences such as private canal cruises and personalized jewelry from House Jeweler Bibi van der Velden.

Rosewood Amsterdam, where history, innovation, and Amsterdam's vibrant culture seamlessly converge, marks a transformative chapter in luxury hospitality.
