W Amsterdam will feature 238 guestrooms, including 23 suites, three WOW Suites and two Extreme Wow Suites, as well as a FIT state-of-the-art fitness centre and Away Spa. Rooms at W Amsterdam will be available from €350 per night staying in a W Cozy Exchange.

W’s reinterpretation of the traditional lobby, W Lounge, will be the first stop for all arriving guests at the hotel. Located on the sixth floor of the Exchange building, W Lounge will be at the heart of the hotel with 360-degree views over the city. W Lounge will feature an original cocktail menu specially created by the Fabulous Shaker Boys.

Set across two iconic buildings, W Amsterdam will also feature a rooftop lounge offering signature cocktails and stunning views. Alongside W Lounge, the Exchange building is home to MR PORTER, which will offer a cutting edge, rooftop-dining experience.

Bold gold lines printed on the windows of the W Lounge and over 5km of copper pipes pay tribute to the telephone wires and electricity lines that exchanged information on a daily basis when the building was home to the Royal Dutch Post Building. W Lounge will feature a distinctive set of stairs that flow into the bar and echo the iconic steps of Dam Square on the streets below.

W Amsterdam also hosts THE DUCHESS, which opened on June 25. Bringing a taste of London heritage and Viennese grandeur to Amsterdam, THE DUCHESS offers dining, lunch and afternoon tea menus and a wide selection of vermouths, cocktails and champagnes.
