ROSEWOOD AMSTERDAM

Rosewood Amsterdam is a luxurious hotel situated in the heart of Amsterdam’s UNESCO World Heritage-listed Canal District, housed in the historic former Palace of Justice at Prinsengracht 432-436. Overlooking the picturesque Prinsengracht, one of the city’s most beautiful canals, the hotel is ideally located near iconic attractions such as the Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum, and Anne Frank House, all within a 15-minute walk. Its central position also offers easy access to the high-end shopping district on P.C. Hooftstraat and the vibrant De Pijp neighborhood, making it a perfect base for exploring Amsterdam’s rich cultural and historical landscape.

Rosewood Amsterdam, opened in 2024, transformed the historic Palace of Justice, a monumental building constructed in 1836-1848 at Prinsengracht 432-436, into a luxurious hotel. Originally designed by architect Jan de Greef in a neoclassical style, the building served as a courthouse until 2015, notably hosting high-profile trials like that of Willem Holleeder. The renovation, led by Hagen Horobin Architects and interior designer Baranowitz + Kronenberg, preserved the building’s heritage elements—such as grand marble staircases and ornate ceilings—while integrating modern luxury. The meticulous five-year project added 134 guest rooms, three restaurants, and serene courtyards, blending Amsterdam’s rich history with contemporary elegance.

Rosewood Amsterdam, a luxurious hotel located in the historic former Palace of Justice at Prinsengracht 432-436, was developed by CTF Amsterdam B.V., a subsidiary of the Hong Kong-based CTF (Chow Tai Fook) group. Opened on May 1, 2025, after a decade-long restoration, the project transformed the 17th-century UNESCO World Heritage-listed building into a 134-room ultra-luxury hotel, preserving its architectural heritage while integrating modern Dutch design by Studio Piet Boon. The development, acquired by CTF in 2015 for €61.3 million, reflects a commitment to honoring Amsterdam’s cultural legacy, with features like reimagined courtrooms and an Asaya Spa, positioning it as a landmark of sustainable luxury hospitality.

Rosewood Amsterdam, located in the historic former Palace of Justice on Prinsengracht, has been transformed into a luxurious hotel through a meticulous renovation led by Netherlands-based architectural firm Kentie & Partners, working closely with the Bureau Monumenten en Archeologie and The City of Amsterdam to preserve its 17th-century heritage. The interior design, crafted by Studio Piet Boon, balances functionality and aesthetics, honoring the building’s Dutch identity with soft gray tones, inky blues, and warm neutrals that reflect Amsterdam’s dynamic light, alongside nearly 1,000 curated artworks. Archer Humphryes Architects designed the 134 guestrooms, integrating modern luxury with the palace’s architectural legacy, while landscape designer Piet Oudolf reimagined the three internal courtyards as lush, sustainable gardens, creating vibrant communal spaces.
