A new hotel in an unexpected place in Amsterdam, where people come to sleep and stay to connect. Where rough and refined meet, balancing the expected with the unexpected. Discover The Encounter.

coming soon: the encounter

The construction of a new five-star hotel in the north of Amsterdam has begun: The Encounter. With 197 rooms and suites, the hotel is not just designed as a place where guests come to sleep, but also as a place where they stay to connect. The hotel's highlight awaits at the very top: a rooftop restaurant, bar, pool, and cocktail bar offering spectacular views over the city.

The underlying concept of The Encounter celebrates contrasts in both its interior design and brand identity. The raw, industrial character of Amsterdam-Noord is combined with the warmth of hospitality. Organic shapes are in contrast with sleek lines, while high-tech materials meet artisanal craftsmanship, resulting in exciting spaces where both local and foreign guests come to Encounter.

“We strive in all our projects to truly make a difference, creating bespoke designs that deliver unique guest experiences, and at The Encounter we deliberately explore contrasts, resulting in exciting five-star quality spaces.”
