Canal House

Canal House looks forward to welcoming guests again from the 1st December 2020.

Overlooking the Keizersgracht Canal in the centre of Amsterdam

Combining a prime location with supreme comfort, Canal House Amsterdam comprises three historic 17th century merchant houses that overlook the Keizersgracht, one of the city’s major canals. With 23 design-led bedrooms, a bar, a glamorous lounge, a large garden and contemporary works of art, this delightful hotel is just a short walk from the Anne Frank House.

Rooms are refreshingly graded by names that indicate exactly what to expect and include Good Rooms, Better Rooms, Great Rooms, Exceptional Rooms, Outstanding Rooms and the Best Room. All have unique artwork and are beautifully furnished with silk wallpaper and plush velvet curtains in a light and dark colour scheme to reflect traditional Dutch paintings. Care has been taken to retain the original timber beams, ornate ceilings and fireplaces at Canal House Amsterdam.

Lovely short break

My son stayed at this hotel for 4 nights and was very appreciative of the staff's local knowledge, as well as their friendliness and professionalism. The hotel is in a well placed location near the top of Keizersgracht, close to a tram line, as well as bikes available to rent from the hotel itself.

Wonderful stay and experience

The stay at Canal House definitely enhanced our time at Amsterdam. The overall experience was fantastic since our arrival until the last minute.

Chic hotel in heart of Amsterdam

Very convenient and comfortable hotel - short walk to my conference venue. This hotel has more character than other larger (usually chain) hotels in Amsterdam.

Best location in the city!

From accommodating our every request, to having an ideal location in Amsterdam, I can not recommend Canal House enough. We were visiting Amsterdam for my sister’s 30th birthday. I mentioned it to the hotel and they made sure our room was available early, they decorated it with balloons and a personalized Read more[SPLIT]Read lessnote, and offered us a complimentary champagne toast. The hotel itself is gorgeous and the breakfast buffet was wonderful. I hope to return in the spring so that I can enjoy their beautiful outdoor garden.

Warm friendly welcome “home” in heart of Amsterdam

Professional, attentive, personal service. Always wonderful to feel so welcome when I return. Very comfortable rooms, and guaranteed good breakfast. Location is excellent: close to Central Station, good connection to Schiphol.

Very enjoyable stay

We we're upgraded to a lovely room at the back of the hotel overlooking the gardens. Veery spacious room for a city hotel. The little Bose speakers by the bedside were great for playing your own music very easily via bluetooth. The hotel's own brand of toiletries are delightful too. The hotel is Read more[SPLIT]Read lessliterally round the corner from the Anne Frank house and a lot of the centre is within walking distance.

A sofisticated comfort with a touch of history in a bustle of a modern city

As it always is with SLHs my stay at the Canal House hotel exceeded my expectations: starting from a very warm welcome till the last moments of my stay. Hotel staff is highly professional and very freindly. Conveniently located on a border of Jordaan district, just 10 minutes walk from the station or Read more[SPLIT]Read lessmajor historical or cultural attractions (Rijksmuzeum, Van Gogh musem, Opera house, almost all churches and many others) the hotel itslef is like a museum where precious furniture or household decorations are exquisitely combined with a modern design. I was lucky to have a nice sunny weather during my stay in Amsterdam, but it was not warm enough to enjoy the well-kept garden. I would highly recommend this hotel for leisure as well as business travellers.
