The Toren: A surprising secret in the heart of Amsterdam
The Toren is one of Amsterdam’s designer hotels that is only known to the “happy few.”
This small but uniquely designed hotel lies nestled behind the façades of two 17th-century canal houses. It sets itself apart because of its interiors, restyled by Wim van de Oudeweetering, which can be described as classical with a touch of the contemporary.
The Toren’s 38 rooms are each unique. They all have a warm atmosphere but 
vary considerably in terms of space and furnishings. They range from tasteful and small to extremely spacious. The Superior and the DeLuxe rooms have a whirlpool. The Special DeLuxe rooms and the Garden Cottage have two-person Jacuzzis that can be programmed in different colours and massage settings.
The Garden Cottage also has a steam shower cabin. The hotel offers two Bridal Suites, which provide all the luxuries, including a two-person Jacuzzi. All the rooms are standard equipped with air conditioning, a (wireless) internet connection and a flat-screen TV with music 
and video ‘on demand’.
The building accommodating The Toren dates from 1618. The designer hotel was not named after the Westertoren, diagonally opposite the hotel, but after the owners, Petra and Eric Toren. The premise behind the way this management couple runs The Toren is that every guest should experience that at-home feeling.
There is one breakfast lounge and a stylish bar. Two conference rooms are also available for business guests, upon request.
