Hotel Die Port Van Cleve - Amsterdam

Historic Amsterdam hotel with an 1887 Delft Blue fresco

Historic & Unique Features

Hotel Die Port Van Cleve is housed in six connected monumental buildings, dating back to its origins as a brewery in 1864. Its bar contains a unique Delft Blue tile fresco from 1887, painted by L. Senf and designed by A. Le Comte from Koninklijke Porceleyne Fles. The fresco depicts a parade of children celebrating the Dutch Golden Age, offering guests a tangible piece of Amsterdam's history.

The 122 rooms at Die Port van Cleve vary in size and layout due to the historic building structure, each equipped with air conditioning, safe, and mini fridge. Room types include Cozy Double Room, Comfort Queen Room, Junior Suite Queen, and Superior Room with varying views and spaces. Guests can request a room with a balcony - only two such rooms exist in the entire hotel, with room 221 being one of them.
