Hotel description
Location: Artistic flair with a view of the canal
The Sir Albert Hotel is located very centrally in the artistic De Piip district, a short walk from the Museumplein square or Leidseplein square.
An air of aristocracy pervades the Sir Albert Hotel. Sophisticated living and a passion for high quality, the hallmarks of old urban nobility, are tangible throughout. Unique pieces and classic designs fashioned from valuable materials such as leather, wood, porcelain and fine textiles raise the furnishings to a standard of timeless elegance. At the same time, Amsterdam’s traditional reputation as an open, cosmopolitan trade center is clearly visible, not least in the hotel’s authentic Japanese restaurant. No less exclusive, yet perfectly modern, the hotel’s spa offers a broad variety of wellness treatments. Further amenities include a chic lounge with a designer fireplace, well-stocked library, Internet point and wireless network, all accompanied by warm, attentive service.
Historic Hotel: Modern comfort in an old diamond-cutting factory
Today’s Sir Albert Hotel is housed in a building with deep roots in the history of Amsterdam. Until being renovated into a first-class hotel it was a well-known diamond factory. Since perfect lighting conditions were of the utmost importance in this trade, all guest rooms are outfitted with enormous windows bathing them in enchanting light. The neighborhood around the hotel still exemplifies much of the historical architecture of De Piip, which was traditionally the district for artists, designers and literati.
Design Hotel: Elegant avant-garde style in an industrial building
The room design of the Sir Albert Hotel successfully strikes contemporary tones without succumbing to passing fads. Extravagant yet elegant furniture, timelessly sophisticated color patters in natural wood colors, black, white and gray tones, will still be modern tomorrow. Modern artworks are positioned among them in a way that is both sparing and clever. Often the furnishings themselves are sufficient decoration, exhibiting strong influences of the Bauhaus style. In the spa, a trace of Asian design is evident. Large, geometric industrial windows put the finishing touches on this hotel’s avant-garde design.
4-star hotel: First-class comfort & personal hospitality
What marks the Sir Albert as a modern first-class hotel is not merely its optical features but its excellent service. Instead of a classical reception desk, guests check in at the lounge while enjoying a welcome drink and receiving inquiries from the staff about personal requests. Comfortable beds with an individualized range of pillows and blankets, high-quality bath facilities and the most up-to-date room technology (laptop safe, iPod dock and LED TV) all more than live up to the hotel’s 4-star category.
Food & Drink: A taste of the Far East
The hotel restaurant is designed in the style of an Izakaya (typical Japanese restaurant), taking its guests along on a culinary journey to the Far East. Both food and decor is authentically Japanese. On sunny days, sushi, sashimi and sakana can all be enjoyed on the street terrace with a view of the canal. Cocktails with authentic Japanese schochu spirit or a choice of 300 premium wines provide the perfect accompaniment to a meal.
Athletics & Leisure: Sightseeing, fitness and bike rides through Amsterdam
This hotel’s concept is primarily intended for guests who are looking for a base camp for sightseeing, cultural excursions and shopping. Leisure activities at the Sir Albert are limited. However, a fully equipped fitness room is available. Another practical feature is the hotel’s bike rental service, Amsterdam’s most beloved means of transportation.
