SWEETS hotel, first initiated in 2012 as an urban space project. 22 bridge houses are currently available for reservations, with more coming soon. SWEETS hotel is an initiative and co-creation of the architecture office Space&Matter (known for De Ceuvel, an ecological hub), project development partner Grayfield and Suzanne Oxenaar and Otto Nan, founders of Lloyd Hotel & Cultural Embassy (the world’s first 1 to 5 star hotel) and Hotel The Exchange.

Get a sense of Amsterdam’s history from this 1940s tiny house in ‘Late Amsterdam School’ style, and cuddle up in the snug alcove bed – a peaceful retreat in the midst of the city’s daily rush. Take a scenic 25-minute walk through the Vondelpark from your hotel room for a visit to the Stedelijk Museum, Van Gogh Museum and Rijksmuseum. Tram 11, departing around the corner, takes you to Museum Square and Amsterdam Centre in about 15 minutes. From 1947 to 2017, bridge house Overtoomsesluis accommodated Amsterdam’s bridge keepers.

With multiple tram stops around every corner, travel fast and easy from bridge house Overtoomsesluis to every must-go place in Amsterdam. Museum Square, Leidseplein and the city centre are all less than 15 minutes away. Even more convenient: public transport takes you from Schi
