Minor Hotels has expanded its Tivoli Hotels &
Resorts brand to Amsterdam, Netherlands.
The Tivoli Doelen Amsterdam Hotel, housed within a
XVI century property overlooking the Amstel Canal, is considered
to be one of the oldest hotel properties in the Dutch capital.
The original home to Rembrandt Van Rijn’s famous
painting The Night Watch (which was completed in 1642) hung on a wall inside one
of the bedroom suites until it was moved to the city’s famed
Rijksmuseum.
Centrally located in Amsterdam’s historic city
centre, within walking distance of the main tourist attractions, the
heritage property has 81 guest rooms including seven suites, most
overlooking the canal.
The hotel also boasts a new gastronomic concept in
its elegant Omber restaurant and bar, inspired by the art works of
Rembrandt, who lived very close to the hotel.
For a genuinely unique experience, guests can book
the 47-square-metre Rembrandt Suite where they can view a perfect
replica of The Night Watch, in the room and on the exact wall
where the masterpiece originally hung for 70 years.
The hotel has even partnered with The Rembrandthuis museum
to give hotel guests the possibility of booking
a very exclusive experience, a dinner, served by the Tivoli Doelen
team, in the actual kitchen of Rembrandt’s house. Guests can also
book a painting workshop, inspired by the Dutch grand master,
getting to know better the ancient art heritage of Amsterdam.
Another
fascinating room at the Tivoli Doelen is the Empress Suite
(pictured) that was once the boudoir of
Empress Elisabeth of Austria, most well-known as Sisi. With a
unique C-shape design to maximise the canal views, the suite has
a king-sized bed with Dutch shields on the ceiling, which are a
symbol of protection.
Rates at Tivoli Doelen Amsterdam Hotel start from
€200 for a Superior room including breakfast for two people.
