The unveiling of Citadines Canal Amsterdam marks a milestone for The Ascott Limited, a premier international hospitality operator renowned worldwide. Nestled within the historic heart of Amsterdam, this charming property, housed in centuries-old weaver’s dwellings, has been meticulously refurbished since its acquisition by the Ascott Serviced Residence Global Fund (ASRGF) in 2021. Now reborn as a Citadines apart’hotel, it beckons guests with rates starting from 165 Euros per night, or as low as 149 Euros for members of Ascott Star Rewards, the complimentary loyalty program.

Offering the comfort and privacy of an apartment paired with the convenience and amenities of a hotel, Citadines empowers guests to ‘live, work, and play’ at their own rhythm.
Embodying a fusion of comfort and history, Citadines Canal Amsterdam is the newest gem in the Citadines portfolio, joining the fold since its acquisition by The Ascott Limited in 2004. Set within the enchanting ambiance of the 17th-century Noordse Bos weaver’s houses in Amsterdam’s ancient center, the design ethos of Citadines Canal Amsterdam, envisioned by acclaimed interior designer Hilary Lancaster, pays homage to the storied past of these architectural treasures, with carefully curated materials and patterns echoing the intricate art of weaving.
Strategically nestled in the heart of the Weteringbuurt district, between the iconic Spiegelgracht and Reguliersgracht canals, Citadines Canal Amsterdam offers an ideal launchpad for business endeavors, leisurely staycations, or immersive exploration of Amsterdam’s cultural tapestry.

Boasting 93 meticulously designed rooms and apartments, the aparthotel is conveniently positioned within walking distance of key attractions, shopping districts, culinary havens, and transportation hubs, including metro stations, train terminals, and the airport, facilitating effortless connectivity and exploration.
Beyond offering a quintessentially local experience, Citadines residences are committed to enhancing guest comfort with an array of amenities. Guests can maintain their fitness regimen at the well-appointed gym, unwind in the inviting lounge featuring an honesty bar, or revel in the convenience of fully air-conditioned accommodations regardless of the weather. Certain studios and apartments boast fully equipped kitchens, empowering guests with the freedom to savor home-cooked meals at their leisure. Additionally, for eco-conscious travelers arriving by car, Citadines Canal Amsterdam provides parking facilities equipped with electric car charging points, aligning with its commitment to sustainability, underscored by its A rating on the local EPC (energy performance coefficient) scale.
Addition to the Global Portfolio Rob Broer, Citadines Canal Residence Manager, says: “We are proud to represent our international brand with this new addition in Amsterdam. The aparthotel, which exudes the atmosphere of the weaver’s houses thanks to its beautiful design, will meet all the needs of our guests, whether they are visiting Amsterdam for business or leisure”.
Frédéric Carré, Regional General Manager for the UK, Germany, Belgium, Georgia, Spain, & The Netherlands, comments, “Amsterdam holds great appeal for us, given its superb connectivity with the rest of Europe and the reputation of the Netherlands for its highly educated and skilled workforce. The introduction of Citadines Canal Amsterdam to our global portfolio is indeed a gratifying development.” Notably, Citadines Canal Amsterdam marks the second Citadines presence in Amsterdam, complementing the existing Citadines Amsterdam Sloterdijk situated near Sloterdijk station.
