SWEETS hotel is a one-of-a-kind hotel dotted across Amsterdam in 28 different bridge houses, built along and on Amsterdam’s canals between 1673 and 2009, each one distinctively designed in the architectural style of its building period. Due to centralization of bridge control, the bridge houses lost their original purpose of working space for the city’s bridge keepers. SWEETS hotel reuses this industrial heritage by transforming the bridge houses, all connected by Amsterdam’s waterways, into stand-alone hotel suites with unique interiors, designed with the architectural history of the tiny building in mind. Due to their unique locations, all bridge houses offer a spectacular panoramic view across Amsterdam's canals.

An eye-catching bridge house from 1954, located in between a lush green park on the riverside and an urban railroad bridge — an eclectic environment that resonates in the homely interior. In summer, the large green park on the riverside is a popular local swimming spot with a marvellous view of the Amstel river. The bridge house is remarkably easy to reach from Amsterdam Central Station (14 minutes by metro). The city centre is only 10 minutes away. Bridge house Omvalbrug was built in 1954 in the 'Amsterdam School' style, well-known amongst architecture lovers. The house has noise level 'high' and inside this local icon, you will find a cosy hotel room with everything you need, including a comfortable double bed, a bathroom, a pantry and a seating area. All sorts of basics like towels, body wash, dishes, cutlery, coffee and tea are provided as well - feel free to use them! On every second day of your stay, our housekeeping team drops by on electrical cargo bikes for a basic cleaning check and to supply fresh towels. SWEETS hotel operates on a self-service system (FLEXIPASS) for check-in. Access your bridge house with your own smartphone, independently and at a flexible time!
