lobbyThe lobby is very attractive with exposed brick walls and a small seating area in the style of a private drawing room with many different materials on the walls, on the floor and in the seating arrangement. The reception area is quite small but very welcoming.
exteriorAs the name suggests, this building used to be a school and has been restored to its former glory which is very traditional in design with a small garden at the entrance with flames lining the pathway.
restaurantThe hotel restaurant is one of the most renowned throughout Amsterdam. The hotel itself used to be a school and the restaurant is housed in the former school gym and is large and bright with an open kitchen and serves predominantly Dutch/International cuisine. There is also a terrace where in the summer, drinks may be served as well as the trendy hotel bar which is very popular amongst the local Dutch inhabitants and offers an alternative atmosphere with plenty of low seating, as well as bar seating, fireplaces and music.
roomsDeluxe rooms are large and measure between 33 - 39 square metres. They are decorated in an Art Nouveau style and have plenty of natural light due to the way they have been strategically placed in the hotel. The attention to detail in these rooms is first class. The bathrooms are also in pristine condition and are very trendy and unique and not the usual white tiling found in many hotels.
