Hotel Estheréa is a four-star boutique hotel located in 17th-century canal houses along the Singel, the oldest canal in Amsterdam. The hotel offers 91 rooms and 2 suites, featuring a richly colored, classic interior design and a strong focus on personal service.

The hotel is situated on the Singel, in the heart of Amsterdam, just a few minutes’ walk from Dam Square, the Nine Streets, and numerous shops, museums, and restaurants. You are right in the city center, yet on a relatively quiet street compared to the busiest nightlife areas.

The hotel offers several lounges overlooking the canal, with large bookcases reminiscent of a classic library. Maria’s Bar, exclusively for hotel guests, is open 24/7 and serves cocktails in the evening — the perfect place to unwind after a day in the city.

Guests can enjoy complimentary WiFi, a library, canal-view lounges, coffee, tea, and hot chocolate with small sweets, a fitness room, meeting rooms, and an underground parking garage (available for an additional fee).

For multi-night stays, special packages are available that include extras such as a bottle of prosecco, cocktails with Dutch snacks, or a signature room spray.
