Fans of American hotel chain Kimpton no longer need to cross the Atlantic to make the most of the company’s boutique style and complimentary extras, thanks to the first European opening.

Just steps away from the city’s Centraal train station, the Kimpton De Witt is also only a short walk from the Jordaan area and Anne Frank House in Amsterdam. 

The hotel’s 274 rooms include 15 signature rooms and suites set within three Renaissance era buildings, including the four-storey “Little House”, which can also be hired exclusively.

Scheduled to open in May, the hotel will also have the usual bonuses of the US properties, including free bikes to borrow to explore the city, in-room yoga mats and the complimentary ‘wine hour’. A second European property is planned for 2020 in Paris.
