A Self-Sustaining Subtropical Oasis in Amsterdam

Entering Hotel Jakarta Amsterdam on Java-eiland is like walking into a vertical oasis. The five-story glass and bamboo wood structure is filled with subtropical plants, meters high palms, and botanical gardens inspired by Java Island. The hotel is all about the Indonesian-Amsterdam connection, and most centrally, sustainability in every element. Rainwater is stored in the property, solar cells power the space, underground thermal energy storage is utilized, and its Atrium and high windows maximize natural light.

Two-hundred light filled, blond wood and bamboo rooms range from superior rooms with king size beds and balconies to suites with panoramic views of the city and free-standing bathtubs along with rain showers. All have floor-to-ceiling windows. Start the day with breakfast from Westers Bakery, made in collaboration with Bakery van Maanen, which is a local favorite producing eco-conscious pastries for over a century, rent a bike to explore the city, and relax by the pool or indulge in a natural spa treatment later in the day. Café Jakarta combines French and Indonesian influences and Skybar Malabar is ideal for a cocktail with a view to match.
