Jan Luyken Amsterdam

Poet’s corner

Setting

A potter from Museumplein

Down a quaint avenue in the Museum Quarter, boutique hotel Jan Luyken Amsterdam is well-versed in home comforts. Named for the storied Dutch artist, it’s set across a trio of 19th-century townhouses, carved with creative influence and colour schemes that nod to the etcher's illustrations. A library lounge, self-serve kitchen and living room add to its intimate appeal; and who knows, maybe your culture-steeped surroundings might just inspire an artistic epiphany of your own.

Our Favourite Rooms

Smaller categories offer good value if it’s just a basecamp you’re after, but move into the Medium options and you’ll have plenty of room to play. They're designed with the same custom, contemporary decor as their cosier counterparts; but their bathrooms feature freestanding tubs and living spaces come bolstered with cushy sofa-beds for little Smiths in tow.

Packing Tips

Make space for flea-market finds by leaving books behind: there’ll be plenty of reading material to borrow from Jan Luyken's tome-laden library.

Also

If cycling along the canals doesn’t fulfil your daily exercise quota, the hotel also has a small gym kitted out with Nohrd equipment.

Children

Children are welcome; the Medium and Studio both have sofa-beds that can be made up on request. There aren’t dedicated facilities for kids at the hotel, but staff can recommend local family-friendly activities.

Top Table

Take your breakfasts alfresco come summer, when the hotel’s idyllic terrace is bathed in dappled sunlight.

Dress Code

This home-from-home hotel calls for nothing more than your finest comfies.

Hotel Restaurant

There’s no formal restaurant, but you'll find an elaborate spread laid out each morning in the dining room for low-key, help-yourself breakfasts; and an attached kitchen comes stocked with all sorts of snacks (including home-baked buns and cookies), as well as tea and coffee for between-museum pick-me-ups.

Hotel Bar

Drinks follow a similarly informal suit, with a self-serve selection of soft drinks, wine and spirits from nearby Bols available from the kitchen.

Last Orders

Breakfast is served from 7am to 11am, and the kitchen is open for all-day (and -night) snacking.

Room Service

Snacks are free to take from the kitchen, whether you sample them on the hotel's sofas or in your room is all up to you.

Planes

Amsterdam Airport Schiphol is a 20-minute drive from the hotel and your nearest international option. Taxis are readily available, or you can take the Airport Express bus straight to Museumplein, a five-minute walk from the hotel and your nearest stop.

Trains

Rijksmuseum and Museumplein tram stations are both a couple of minutes' walk away and offer direct links into the city centre. For connections further afield, Amsterdam Centraal is a 15-minute drive away and has trains to Rotterdam, The Hague, Brussels, Paris, Berlin and London.

Automobiles

A car isn’t essential in this well-connected city; but should you be bringing your own wheels, you can reserve a space at the public Q-Park Museumplein (a five-minute walk away) for an additional charge.

Worth Getting Out of Bed For

Jan Luyken Amsterdam’s residential locale balances this city’s quieter side with direct access to the Museum Quarter’s cultured streets and Canal District’s charming waterside setting. Iconic institutions including Rijksmuseum, the Van Gogh Museum, the more modern Moco Museum and the liquor-led House of Bols are on your leafy doorstep and make for engaging starting points.

Pick up one of the hotel’s free-to-borrow bikes and cycle along the canal to Jordaan, where you’ll find waterside restaurants, boutiques, Saturday flea markets and the ever-blossoming Tulip Museum. And if all those florals inspire a need for more nature, Vondelpark is nearby, too.
