Hotel Details
Generator Amsterdam - A design-led hotel in a converted zoological university building with park views and creative social spaces
Located in Amsterdam's eastern Oost district, this award-winning Amsterdam hotel occupies a former zoological university building overlooking Oosterpark. Generator Amsterdam features 168 twin and quadruple rooms, plus one luxury six-person apartment, all equipped with USB charging ports and secure storage. The property houses two distinct bars: the Auditorium bar with tiered seating in a converted lecture hall, and the industrial-style Oosterbar in the basement. Café Nescio serves international cuisine throughout the day, offering garden views from its raised veranda. The converted library space connects to the Auditorium via an elevated walkway, providing a quiet retreat. Glass-fronted elevators and an outdoor terrace complement the flexible social areas. Tram 14 from Centraal Station stops at Alexanderplein, a 5-minute walk from Generator. The Red Light District lies 1 mile away, while the Van Gogh Museum is situated 1.5 miles from the property.
