De L'Europe Hotel, Amsterdam

Hotel History

In the 17th century, Amsterdam was the center of world economy, where modern architecture developed organically between facades of historical buildings. De L’Europe’s present-day location was originally part of a defense fortress built in 1492 to protect the city; one of its towers was named Rondeel. The fort was demolished in 1633, when the inn “Het Rondeel” was built. More than 200 years later, from 1895-6, architect Willem Hamer Jr. began remodeling this mountain stone and red brick building in Renaissance style, which is a now city-designated landmark.
