Amrath Hotels

Amrâth Hôtels traces its roots to 1978, when G. van Eijl began investing in property, initially in retail and small office premises before expanding into restaurants and bars. This early experience in refurbishing and renovating monumental Dutch buildings would come to define the chain that followed.

From de l'Empereur to a national chain

In 1997, the Van Eijl family purchased the stately Hotel de l'Empereur in Maastricht, laying the foundation for what would become Amrâth Hôtels. The Amrâth brand, taken from the maiden name of Mr Van Eijl's French mother, was applied across the family's hotels in 2000. The company remains owned by Van Eijl Hospitality, the family's holding company.

Monumental buildings, modern comfort

Amrâth Hôtels today consists of twelve hotels across the Netherlands, each with its own unique character and central location. The portfolio ranges from historic, monumental properties to modern, comfortable hotels, including:

• Grand Hotel Amrâth Amsterdam, housed in the former Scheepvaarthuis shipping house
• Amrâth Hotel DuCasque, on Maastricht's famous Vrijthof square
• Amrâth Hotel Alkmaar, close to the city's historic centre
• Grand Hotel Amrâth Frans Hals in the heart of Haarlem

The Scheepvaarthuis story

The group's Amsterdam flagship occupies one of the city's most remarkable buildings: a national monument built in 1913 as the joint headquarters of six shipping companies, and the first building constructed in the Amsterdam School architectural style.

A distinctive Dutch chain

Every Amrâth hotel is chosen for its unique location and character, giving the chain a reputation for warm gastvrijheid and high quality service across the Netherlands's three, four and five star segments.
