FIRST HOTEL IN THE NETHERLANDS AWARDED THREE MICHELIN KEYS
De L’Europe Amsterdam, one of the most iconic hotels in the Netherlands, has reached a new milestone: it has been awarded Three MICHELIN Keys by the MICHELIN Guide – the highest distinction within this international hotel rating system. This makes De L’Europe the first hotel in the Netherlands to receive such recognition, placing it among the world’s top-rated hotels. The award was announced this week during the inaugural MICHELIN Guide Global Hotels Ceremony at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris.
The MICHELIN Keys are the hotel equivalent of the famous MICHELIN Stars for restaurants and highlight global recognition of excellence within the hospitality sector. Worldwide, there are only 143 hotels with Three Keys, 572 with Two Keys and 1,742 with One Key, located in extraordinary settings: from desert tents and glass cubes in forests, to historic riads and modern towers. The recognition underlines that De L’Europe excels in the four evaluation criteria used by MICHELIN: local experience, architecture & interior design, service & personality, and value for money.
ACCORDING TO THE MICHELIN GUIDE
« One of Europe’s newest Three-Keys, De L’Europe is the classic European grand hotel. If it feels traditional, that’s because it is – continuing a legacy that began here on the banks of the canal in 1896. But this is no boutique canal house hotel, instead boasting a timeless luxury experience with a variety of distinctive styles in the accommodations and fine dining at Two-Star Flore. »
Robert-Jan Woltering, Managing Director, commented: « Over the past five years, with the redesign of De L’Europe’s interiors, we have redefined our positioning in the market, with a strong focus on our connection to the city of Amsterdam. And that is precisely what has made De L’Europe so unique since 1896: a place of original Amsterdam luxury, steeped in authenticity and rich history. The creativity of the city, celebrating its 750th anniversary, is central to everything we do and shines through in our many collaborations, such as within ’t Huys. Earlier this week, our restaurants were once again recognized with two MICHELIN Stars and a Green Star for Flore, and a Bib Gourmand for Marie. Our hotel offers guests a total experience, from personal service to luxury facilities, made possible by a fantastic team that consistently excels in delivering the very best. It has been an exhilarating week full of highlights, and we are incredibly proud of what we have achieved together. »
With this recognition, De L’Europe further strengthens its position as a world-class international destination, where luxury, history, culinary excellence, and personal service come together. The hotel combines iconic rooms and suites with a unique connection to Amsterdam, offering guests an unforgettable and authentic experience.
