Hotel Okura Amsterdam is a quietly luxurious retreat in the heart of De Pijp, offering refined Japanese hospitality, award-winning dining, and exceptional business facilities—all wrapped in understated elegance.
Set in the vibrant Zuid district, Hotel Okura Amsterdam rises above the city’s low-rise skyline with a sleek 23-storey profile. Opened in 1971 and a member of The Leading Hotels of the World, it blends Eastern serenity with Western sophistication. The hotel’s design is minimalist yet warm, with natural materials, soft lighting, and subtle Japanese influences throughout. The lobby is spacious and calm, with polished stone floors, timber accents, and a sense of quiet grandeur that sets the tone for the stay.
The hotel houses 300 rooms and suites, each thoughtfully decorated in a contemporary style with neutral tones, plush textiles, and panoramic views of Amsterdam. Rooms start at 27m² and include amenities such as Nagomi Spa access, Nespresso machines, pillow menus, and luxury toiletries by Zenology—a Dutch brand known for its botanical formulations. Suites offer additional space, with some featuring private lounges and expansive city vistas.
Dining is a standout experience. Okura is home to four acclaimed restaurants, collectively holding three Michelin stars. Ciel Bleu, the two-star flagship on the 23rd floor, offers a gastronomic journey with breath taking views. Yamazato, the first traditional Japanese restaurant in Europe to earn a Michelin star, serves kaiseki-style haute cuisine in a serene tatami setting. Teppanyaki Restaurant Sazanka delivers precision and flair at the grill, while Serre offers all-day international dining with a Bib Gourmand distinction. For drinks, the Twenty Third Bar serves crafted cocktails with skyline views, and the Lobby Bar channels 1920s glamour.
Wellness is anchored by the Nagomi Spa & Health, which includes a gym, sauna, steam room, and Amsterdam’s largest hotel pool. Treatments draw on Japanese rituals and modern techniques, offering a restorative counterpoint to the city’s energy.
For business travellers, Okura excels with 20 meeting and event spaces, including a ballroom and boardrooms equipped with the latest AV technology. The hotel’s location—just a short tram ride from Museumplein and the financial district—makes it ideal for combining work with leisure. Concierge services, valet parking, and multilingual staff ensure seamless logistics.
Beyond the hotel, De Pijp offers a lively mix of cafes, boutiques, and cultural spots. Guests can explore the nearby Albert Cuyp Market, stroll along the canals, or visit the Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh Museum just minutes away.
The hotel is a destination that balances precision, comfort, and culinary excellence with quiet charm.
