Fashion hotel in Amsterdam with 61 rooms designed by young designers

Rooms

Each of the 61 rooms is individually designed by students of the Amsterdam Fashion Institute, with themes that change regularly to reflect emerging trends. The quirky decor in every room directly references the fashion industry, from fabric-inspired wall coverings to avant-garde furniture. Room categories range from budget to five-star accommodations, with top-floor suites offering balconies overlooking the city.

Dining

The on-site café serves locally sourced, healthy breakfast options using high-quality Dutch ingredients. Guests can enjoy coffee and tea at the lobby coffee bar throughout the day without additional charge. Multiple restaurants and cafes are located directly outside the hotel on Damrak street, offering a variety of cuisines within a two-minute walk.

Hotel The Exchange sits on Damrak street, a five-minute walk from Amsterdam Central Station and 300 metres from Dam Square. Major attractions such as the Anne Frank House, the Rijksmuseum, and the Van Gogh Museum are within a 15-minute walk. The Nine Streets shopping district and the Jordaan neighbourhood are also accessible on foot from the hotel entrance.

The hotel offers a 24-hour front desk, daily housekeeping, and luggage storage before check-in and after check-out at no extra cost. Pet-friendly rooms are available, and the building includes a lift to all floors except the topmost level. A vending machine provides drinks and snacks around the clock, and key card access secures all guest floors.

Experience

Each room functions as a living showcase of new talent, with themes refreshed regularly to keep the decor current. The hotel collaborates with the Amsterdam Fashion Institute to continuously rotate designs, ensuring repeat guests encounter new concepts.

Good Stay in the Heart of Everything!

helpful staff lovely view clean room
The staff were helpful and kind. Their warmth was appreciated! They stored our bags since we arrived early, a HUGE convenience. The room I booked, the Beautiful Double Room, gave a lovely view! The cleanliness and spaciousness of the room added to the overall enjoyment of the stay.
The room felt basic and somewhat uninviting, more akin to a hostel. Decor additions for my birthday felt uninspired and not worth the price I paid.

I found the location convenient, being right in the heart of everything! The staff were indeed friendly and always ready to assist. The room was a good size, which i appreciated. I also liked that they had beer available in the vending machine. It was a nice touch after a long day.
