History
The College Hotel Amsterdam occupies a monumental nineteenth-century building at Roelof Hartstraat 1 in Amsterdam's Oud-Zuid, the city's Fashion & Museum District. Constructed in 1894, the characteristic building served exclusively as a school for more than a century.
Given its protected monumental status (listed in 2002), its conversion into a hotel around 2004 was a delicate architectural undertaking that preserved the building's historic character. The 40 unique rooms occupy former classrooms. Interiors are by Piet Boon. Students from hospitality programs still train at the property, which operates as part of Marriott's Autograph Collection.
