'''Swissôtel Amsterdam''' is a four star [[hotel]] in the city centre of [[Amsterdam]]. It is part of the [[Swissôtel Hotels & Resorts]] hotel group based in [[Zurich]], [[Switzerland]].
The hotel entrance is at [[Damrak]], the city’s ‘red carpet’ which runs from [[Amsterdam Centraal railway station]] to [[Dam Square]], [[Amsterdam]]’s central town square. The hotel is overlooking [[De Bijenkorf]] Department Store across [[Damrak]]. The 6-storey [[hotel]] was built in 1986 and comprises 109 rooms of which 13 are suites. The middle part of the [[hotel]], [[Damrak]] 96-97 was newly built in a style resembling early 20th century urban office architecture. It is flanked by two early 20th century buildings which have been completely stripped to house hotel rooms whilst keeping the historic facades intact. The building at [[Damrak]] 95 was originally designed as an exchange office for the Amsterdamsche Bank by famous Dutch architect [[Hendrik Petrus Berlage]] in 1901. The ground floor of this building still houses a money exchange office. The building at [[Damrak]] 98 was built as an office building/shop premises in 1909 by [[A.J. Kropholler]], revealing evident [[Art Nouveau]] influences.
