Historic canal-side boutique hotel with sustainable innovation and digital self-check-in

Accommodations

The If Boutique Hotel is set in a historic monumental mansion overlooking the Sarphatikade canal in central Amsterdam, opened mid-2023 after extensive renovations. Each of the 19 rooms is unique in view, shape, and size, featuring high-end designer furnishings and beds from top quality design. Bathrooms are stocked with Rituals amenities, and rooms include air conditioning, heating, and safety deposit boxes.

Common Areas & Facilities

The hotel offers a cozy lounge with a free luxury coffee machine, a garden patio for relaxation, and a shared kitchenette with fridge, oven, and microwave for guest use. A 24-hour vending machine provides snacks and drinks, including wine and champagne, while a lift serves all floors for easy access. The property also has a terrace, outdoor furniture, and a secure entrance with CCTV and electronic key access.
