Volkshotel

From the controversial newspaper to the inspired rooms.

Amsterdam is full of unexpected places, and Volkshotel is one of them. For 42 years, this large building housed a progressive Dutch newspaper, De Volkskrant, before becoming one of the largest workspaces for young creatives in the Netherlands.

Since June 2014, the building has entered a new era, with nods to its past found everywhere. Newspaper clippings blend with original details in steel, wood, concrete, or glass.
Riding the wave of urban resorts, the hotel also includes a café, bar, restaurant, workspaces for creatives and freelancers, dance and music studios, and remains open to all. On the 7th floor, on its rooftop terrace, the former canteen has become a restaurant-bar where you can have breakfast with a 360° view of the city, a stunning way to start the day. Just above, on the 8th floor, sauna and wooden hot tubs are a bonus (9 am-9 pm), not to mention the unmissable Canvas for festive nights.

And if you're looking for something exclusive, Volkshotel has 9 inspiring rooms, the special rooms, created by talented designers.
In the surprising Edmund (Jos Blom and Jasper Eustace), a wooden and rubber structure sits in the middle of the room. Inspired by the mountain, it houses all the functionalities of a room, with the bathtub at the summit, the absolute highlight, and the shower under a waterfall.
In the White Bike Room (Thijs van Oostveen), a tribute to the Dutch love for bicycles, you sleep in a large bakfiet and two bikes are waiting for you to explore the city.
Cinéma Boudoir, equipped with its own popcorn machine, allows you to watch a movie from anywhere in the room, whether from the bed or the bathtub, an indoor camping experience in the Cabin in the Woods (Gabor Disberg) with hammock nets stretched between the walls and a perched cabin, Japanese-inspired Bathing Bikou (Hanna Maring), futuristic Here You Are (Swaantje Nijkamp, Linde Ex and Ella Gil), suggestive Soixante Neuf (Rosa Winkel), playful Danny’s Room (Eva van Halewijn) to share with Danny the Deer, or Johnny Jukebox (Remco Gonggrijp) for lovers of vinyl, CDs, and cassettes.
