Rosewood Amsterdam has set an opening date of 1 June 2025, marking the ultra-luxury hospitality brand’s debut in the Netherlands.

Situated within the historic former Palace of Justice, the property will be the last new hotel development permitted within a monumental building in Amsterdam, reinforcing Rosewood’s position as a leader in luxury lifestyle.

After ten-years in the making, the city’s former Palace of Justice now welcomes a new era, as Rosewood gives this important landmark back to the city of Amsterdam. Built in 1665 and situated on the UNESCO World Heritage listed canals, the property’s opening will set a new precedent for purpose-led luxury by embracing circular hospitality and collaborating with local partners. An extensive range of high-end amenities will bring to life the lens of Rosewood’s A Sense of Place® philosophy.

Thomas Harlander, Managing Director of Rosewood Amsterdam, said: “Our mission is to craft an experience where Amsterdam’s rich history and culture intertwine with Rosewood’s distinctive lifestyle. By honouring the architectural legacy of the former Palace of Justice and creating thoughtfully designed spaces, we are not only restoring a cherished landmark for the people of Amsterdam but also inviting guests to immerse themselves in the heart of this vibrant city.

The hotel includes 134 elegantly designed guest rooms and suites, along with five signature suites, many offering views of the picturesque canals, courtyards, and classic townhouse rooftops. Guests will enjoy a collection of refined dining options, including three distinctive restaurants and bars, as well as an in-house distillery.

Designed by Studio Piet Boon, the interiors of Rosewood Amsterdam honour the building’s heritage with a modern take on Dutch craftsmanship, combining historic grandeur with contemporary sophistication. Amsterdam’s intimate, vibrant, and accessible charm, along with its rich history, are captured through the thoughtful restoration of original features, such as cellblocks and courtrooms, reimagined for unique and exceptional guest experiences.

Guests can also enjoy the city’s canals on a private Salon Boat, styled and decorated by Studio Piet Boon, providing an elegant and scenic way to travel to and from the hotel.

Rosewood Amsterdam features an Asaya® Spa, a state-of-the-art fitness centre, and an indoor swimming pool.

This debut marks a significant milestone for Rosewood Hotels & Resorts as it opens its first flagship property, in the Netherlands, continuing its legacy of curating unique and culturally enriching stays around the world.

Rooms at Rosewood Amsterdam will start from €1,200, including VAT and excluding breakfast and city tax and are available to book now.
