Where Art Meets Comfort: Avani Museum Quarter Amsterdam

Where Art Meets Comfort: Avani Museum Quarter Amsterdam

The hotel’s design draws inspiration from the expansive collection at the Stedelijk Museum, blending avant-garde elements with traditional motifs to create modern, inviting interiors. The prominent use of brick, a material iconic to Amsterdam, adds a touch of the city's architectural identity to the gleaming glass façade. Inside, clean lines and practical furniture pay homage to functionalism and rationalism, while mirrors and polished surfaces echo the tranquil canals of the city. Geometric patterns and block colours in the carpets, tiles, and soft furnishings are inspired by renowned 20th-century artists like Piet Mondrian, Anni Albers, Gunta Stolzl, and Sophie Taeuber, completing the artistic fusion within the hotel's design.Avani’s spacious guest rooms and suites, spread over seven floors, draw inspiration from the 1960s with warm hues of terracotta, mustard yellow, and deep browns, reflecting the muted tones of Amsterdam. Some rooms feature panoramic windows offering stunning views. Guests can enjoy modern comforts like Chromecast TV, in-room yoga mats for practicing asanas, and high-quality Bluetooth speakers for listening to podcasts. Drinks and snacks are available 24/7, including healthy and satisfying options. The around-the-clock AvaniFit gym is equipped with cardio machines for a quality workout. For outdoor exercise, Vondelpark, conveniently nearby, offers excellent routes for running or walking.On the hotel’s ground level, an airy lobby lounge opens into The Pantry, Avani’s grab-and-go dining concept. In the morning, this vibrant space serves a delicious buffet breakfast featuring local pastries, hot dishes made à la minute, healthy snacks, vegan bites, and smoothies. During warmer months, guests can enjoy the outdoor terrace overlooking a leafy interior courtyard and indulge in local bites and sweet treats.

Avani Museum Quarter Amsterdam has partnered with the city’s influencers and cultural leaders to curate tours showcasing Amsterdam’s playful side.
