Hotel Estheréa Amsterdam
Hotel Estheréa in Amsterdam is a gem that brings a bit of glamour to the heart of the city. Here's a quick rundown on why it's such a beloved spot.
Hotel Estheréa was founded by Maria Flieger-Gruyters. She decided to move to Amsterdam following the death of her husband during World War Two. She looked after a guest house on behalf of its owner, who had been forced to go underground. She was given the option to purchase the building when it became apparent the owner hadn’t survived the war.
The guest house underwent a complete transformation during the years which followed. The hotel is now run by Maria’s granddaughter Esther and her team. The hotel has been completely renovated and is included on UNESCO’s world heritage list. The facilities are extensive, including a bar which has been named after the founder Maria and which is open 24 hours a day, a gym and all the rooms have been designed completely in line with the Estheréa style.
It’s therefore no longer an old-fashioned guest house, but a fully-fledged boutique hotel, where every room is truly unique! The hotel is also constantly changing, the rooms are given a regular makeover and nothing stays the same, apart from the very distinct Estheréa style.
