THE HISTORY
In 1632 the architect Jacob van Campen was commissioned to build a stone theatre. Monday, the 11th of May 1772, turned out to be a black day in Dutch history. During a performance, the building caught fire and completely burned down.

In 1773 the site was sold to one of the Regents of the Roman Catholic Church charities, known as the Old & Poor People’s Office. This foundation retained ownership until 1998 when the building was completely renovated. It reopened as a luxury boutique hotel, in 1999.

ROOMS & STYLES
An exclusive choice of room types and styles provide every imaginable comfort for the discerning traveller. Every room is refined and distinctly unique, just like our guests.

LOXURA
The style of these rooms is based on the copper-coloured Loxura butterfly. The natural colours of the butterfly can be found in the bronze mirrors and elegant leather headboards with luxury pearl shell detail.

The refined fabrics and furniture provide a warm and elegant ambience; the rooms are all situated around our tranquil garden and are enriched with an intimate and warm colour palette.

SERENDIPITY
The natural warming shades of brown and grey, create an impeccable balance between the authenticity of the building and the contemporary design. The rooms bring together the best of both these worlds; with the use of luxurious fabrics and the generously appointed layout.

The welcoming calm and comfort of the rooms is reflected partially in the room name, pointing to the captivating serenity discoverable in the heart of one of Europe’s most vibrant cities!

LOFT
