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.
The last renovation of the hotel took place in 2004.
Because of its central location near the Royal Palace at Dam Square, the Nieuwe Kerk and Madame Tussauds, Swissôtel Amsterdam is particularly popular among tourists.
