First Look: Rosewood Amsterdam, The Netherlands

Nestled in the 17th-century former Palace of Justice on Amsterdam's Unesco-listed canals, this five-star property marks Rosewood's debut in the Netherlands. The 134 elegant rooms celebrate Dutch craftsmanship with coffered ceilings, pillars and tiled walls and include five long-stay ‘Houses' with large windows. Purpose-led luxury is the focus here, with guided tours of the courtyard botanical garden, readings in the Grand LIbrary, once a courtroom, and mixology sessions in the legal court-themed bar, Advocatuur. Led by Michelin laureate David Ordóñez, Eeuwen serves local, seasonal, ingredient-driven recipes, while the expansive spa features a full-length pool, saunas, fitness centre and a boutique Pilates studio.
