|About
Hotel 717 is an exclusive five star boutique hotel located on the iconic Prinsengracht in the heart of Amsterdam’s UNESCO canal district. Combining historic charm, elegant design and personal service, Hotel 717 offers guests a refined and intimate stay in one of the city’s most beautiful locations. Known as the first luxury boutique hotel in the Netherlands, Hotel 717 introduced a new style of hospitality where privacy, character and personal attention are at the centre of the experience. Since opening in 1997, it has become a favourite destination for travellers looking for something more personal than a traditional luxury hotel. The hotel is housed inside a remarkable historic canal house with centuries of Amsterdam history. The rear part of the building dates back to the 17th century, while the elegant front house was built in 1810 by a successful sugar merchant. This unique combination of architectural styles reflects the rich heritage of the city. After an extensive renovation, Hotel 717 reopened with a refreshed interior that carefully balances classic elegance with contemporary design. Historic details, carefully selected artworks and modern luxury come together to create a warm and sophisticated atmosphere. With only 24 individually designed rooms and suites, the hotel offers an intimate and highly personal experience. Each room has its own character, combining comfort, craftsmanship and timeless style while respecting the history of the building. Located directly on the Prinsengracht, Hotel 717 is surrounded by some of Amsterdam’s most famous highlights. Guests can easily explore the Nine Streets, museums, boutique shops, restaurants and hidden gems within walking distance. The atmosphere feels more like a private residence than a traditional hotel. Personal service, attention to detail and a peaceful setting make Hotel 717 a unique escape in the middle of the city. For visitors searching for a luxury boutique hotel in Amsterdam, a romantic canal stay or an authentic five star experience, Hotel 717 is one of Amsterdam’s most special addresses.
