Hotel Mercier

Hotel Mercier offers everything you could wish for the ultimate night away. A prime location in the heart of Amsterdam: check. An Instagram-worthy interior: check. An interesting history: check. And let's not forget the very comfortable rooms, the cool bar, the restaurant with modern Dutch dishes, and the warm and skilled personnel. CHECK. CHECK. CHECK. In short, you want to stay here during your next visit to the bustling capital!

Mercier is a strong recommendation because of its location. The charming boutique hotel is located in the always cosy Jordaan. Or in other words: around the corner from the most charming coffee shops in the city, the atmospheric 9 streets and the most popular museums and brown pubs in the centre of Amsterdam. Step outside and everything is at your feet. And that's really what you want during a short city trip or a night away in your home country, right? Go sightseeing during the day and after dinner and a few drinks, you can roll into bed.

Boutique hotel Mercier is unique of its kind and this has everything to do with the heartwarming hospitality and the quirky, luxurious retro interior that perfectly fits with the history and the exterior of an authentic Amsterdam building. Think of stately Art Nouveau, robust wooden furniture with a hint of velvet and rich prints. The former people's house has, despite the many changes over the years, managed to retain its charm. For instance, elements from the old gymnasium are still visible in the restaurant and the lobby maintains the style of the library that used to be there.

Dining at the accompanying café 'Ons Huis'? Do it! But a nightcap at the bar or a bottomless brunch on Sunday, where you can enjoy unlimited bubbles is also possible. What can you expect? A fusion of coffee, breakfast, meeting, work, cocktails and food. Dishes with a modern Dutch twist, which are prepared in a sustainable way with local seasonal top products. What more could you wish for?

Looking back at the past

Before Boutique Hotel Mercier became one of the finest lodgings in the inner city of Amsterdam, the characteristic building was used for various purposes. It started in 1891 with Hélène Mercier who, together with tobacco manufacturer Peter Wilhelm Janssen, made it the first community house in the Netherlands. At this place, people from different classes came together to do gymnastics, follow music lessons, watch a theater performance, and use the youth library. Later, in 1979, the building was sold to COC Amsterdam, the interest group for lesbians, gays, bisexuals, transgenders, and intersex people. In short, a real "Our House."

Retro style rooms with modern conveniences

The rooms at the Hotel Mercier look impeccable: retro colours, funky paintings, a New York-style bathroom with white subway tiles and burgundy mosaic on the floors, a comfortable bed and a toilet with the most beautiful wallpaper. And there's nothing to criticise about the comfort either. Everything you desire is present. From coffee and tea facilities to WiFi, air conditioning, and a SMART TV.

A romantic night away in your own country

Hotel Mercier is the ideal getaway for a romantic night out with your love. Not only is sleeping in this former people's house a fantastic experience, but also the coziness of the Jordaan is an experience. During the day, take a tour through the charming 9 Streets, sit down for a delicious dinner for two at Daalder restaurant, run by star chef Dennis Huwae, and end your day at Rooie Nelis, the local pub of Johnny Jordaan, Willy Alberti, and Henk van Mokum.
