In Amsterdam’s Eastern Docklands, The Hoxton, Amsterdam Lloyd occupies a landmark 1921 building commissioned by the Royal Holland Lloyd shipping company. The 136 rooms vary with the historic structure, pairing bold geometric colour, velvet headboards and contemporary furniture with traces of its maritime past. Breman Brasserie serves European and South American-influenced dishes in an open, convivial room, while the adjoining cocktail bar and south-facing terrace extend the public spaces towards the waterfront district. An original Dutch windmill beside the hotel adds another distinctive element to this broad, less familiar side of Amsterdam.
