Dikker En Thijs Fenice Hotel
The Dikker En Thijs Fenice Hotel first opened as a shop in 1895, has been renowned for fine dining since its founder, A. W. Dikker, entered into a partnership in 1915 with H. Thijs, who had been an apprentice with the famous French chef, Escoffier. The hotel is housed in a traditional Amsterdam-style building, in keeping with the surrounding architecture found on many of the canal streets. It offers travellers a luxurious, typically Dutch experience. The lobby is fairly small, but bright and welcoming none the less, with limited seating, a marble floor and a marble topped reception desk. The 42 guestrooms vary in size from medium to large due to the age of the building. They feature simple cherry wood furniture, cream walls and deep red carpets. All are in excellent condition, as are the en suite bathrooms, with tiled floors, granite sinks and heated towel rails. The hotel offers a rich Continental buffet every morning in the breakfast room, which is located on the lower ground floor and features stained glass windows. Guests can enjoy international cuisine and Dutch dishes in the 'De Prinsenkelder' restaurant. Housed in a former 17th century warehouse and accessible via a separate entrance on the canal side of the building, the cool modern black and white marble floors of the restaurant complement this historic property.
