Boutique Hotel The Craftsmen – A Favorite for Families in Amsterdam
About the Hotel
Unique Themed Rooms
Boutique Hotel The Craftsmen offers 14 uniquely themed rooms, each celebrating Dutch historical crafts. The Boat Builder room features a vintage folding canoe as a ceiling lamp and a boat-shaped bathtub. The Blacksmith room includes a wardrobe made from an emergency exit door of a Fokker F28 jet airliner. The Clockmaker room displays a 200kg brass mantelpiece lined with historic clocks. All rooms include high-speed Wi-Fi, smart TVs, and individual air conditioning. Some rooms, like The Artist, have private street entrances.
Craftsmen Kitchen
The Craftsmen Kitchen, located next to the hotel, serves gourmet sandwiches and freshly made coffee. Options include the Boneless Ribs sandwich for meat lovers and Vegan Filet American for plant-based diets. Breakfast is served in the Gallery, featuring freshly baked bread, cold cuts, fruit, and Nespresso coffee. In the evening, the Gallery offers beer, wine, and Dutch genever.
Central Amsterdam Location
The hotel is on Singel Canal, a 10-minute walk from Amsterdam Centraal Station. Nearby landmarks include the Anne Frank House (1 km), the Royal Palace (800 m), and the 9 Streets shopping district. Tram lines 2 and 17 stop at Nieuwezijds Kolk, a 3-minute walk away. Schiphol Airport is 20 km from the hotel, accessible via direct train to Central Station.
Artisan Design Details
The hotel's design incorporates reclaimed materials, such as aluminum shoe-stretchers repurposed as reading lights. Original 17th-century features include Delft blue tiles, parquet floors, and a spiral staircase. The Gallery, the hotel's public space, has leather armchairs and workbench tables facing the canal. Each room's theme is reflected in custom furniture, like millstones as nightstands in The Miller room.
Family and Accessibility
The Blacksmith Family Room sleeps four, with a king-size bed and two singles connected by an iron spiral staircase. Children over 7 are welcome. The hotel has an elevator and allows assistance dogs. Smoking is prohibited, with fines up to €250 for violations. Staff provide tailored recommendations for local dining and attractions.
