History
Inside the former Amsterdam Public Library on the Prinsengracht canal. Marcel Wanders applied a whimsical Dutch-heritage design.
The setting
Andaz Amsterdam Prinsengracht sits at Prinsengracht 587, in the former city public library, on the outermost arc of Amsterdam's UNESCO-listed Grachtengordel — the concentric ring of canals engineered during the Dutch Golden Age. The Prinsengracht, named after the Prince of Orange, borders the creative Jordaan quarter to the west and harbours centuries-old gabled houses on both banks. The Anne Frank House is twelve minutes on foot, the Rijksmuseum fourteen, and the Royal Palace sixteen. Amid a cluster of landmark luxury hotels on this stretch of canal, the address places guests at the living intersection of Golden Age heritage and the city's most spirited neighbourhood. 1 km from Dam Square.
