Boutique hotel in Amsterdam with 12 uniquely themed rooms and private wine cellar tastings

Unique Design & Atmosphere

Located in Amsterdam, The Highland House is a boutique hotel with 12 uniquely themed rooms named after imaginative concepts rather than numbers. Designed by renowned architect Kenneth Jaworski, the hotel features quirky interior details such as the Music Room with a record player and disco ball. Guests can host private tastings in an on-site wine cellar room, accessed through the hotel's elevator.

Room Features

Each themed room includes memorabilia and a different character, with the Music Room offering vinyl records and Bluetooth speakers. The Wine Cellar Room provides a dedicated space for groups, equipped with a bottle of wine and two double beds. All rooms come with a fridge, coffee and tea making facilities, and a flat-screen TV with cable channels.

Prime Location

The hotel sits a 5-minute walk from Amsterdam Central Station, with Dam Square and Anne Frank House within 300 metres. De Jordaan neighborhood and the Beurs van Berlage are directly around the corner, while Vondelpark is a 25-minute walk away. Nearby parking is available at Qpark Amsterdam Centraal and QPark Nieuwendijk for guests arriving by car.

Services & Conveniences

The hotel offers an airport shuttle service with a regular car costing approximately €65 or a mini-van taxi for about €85. Guests receive complimentary beverages and a personalised welcome upon arrival, plus free daily travel tips and local advice from staff. Luggage storage, express check-in/check-out, and daily housekeeping are provided, and a tour desk can arrange bike or walking tours.

Family & Sustainability

The Highland House adopts a family-style approach with tailored guest experiences, such as personalised notes left in rooms each night. Elevator access is available for those who find the steep Dutch stairs challenging, making the hotel suitable for families with luggage. Ecological measures are in place to reduce the carbon footprint, and guests can have breakfast at the sister hotel, The Highlander, at a discounted rate.
