The Hoxton Lloyd Hotel
WHY WE PICKED THIS HOTEL
Set in a former shipping company building from 1921, The Hoxton, Lloyd gives you Amsterdam with more space around it. A strong food and drink offering and free bikes give the stay a different rhythm from the canals.
HOTEL DESCRIPTION
The Hoxton, Lloyd Amsterdam sits in the Eastern Docklands, a quieter waterfront part of the city that feels a little removed from the busiest canal areas while still staying well connected to the centre. It occupies a landmark historic building with deep maritime roots, which gives the hotel far more character than a standard city stay. With 136 bedrooms, the hotel is much larger than a small boutique property, but it still leans into The Hoxton’s more social, design-led style. The atmosphere is lively rather than hushed, with a brasserie, a bar, generous shared spaces and a location that works well if you want Amsterdam with a slightly calmer, more local feel.
Our take on the stay
Bob
The Docklands location changes the pace completely, with more water, fewer crowds, and space to move, while the former shipping offices bring high ceilings, unusual layouts, and details you don’t get in newer hotels.
HOTEL LOCATION
THIS IS GREAT
A former 1921 Royal Holland Lloyd building with deep maritime roots, which gives the hotel a scale, layout, and sense of history that newer Amsterdam stays simply do not have
A waterside Eastern Docklands setting, where wide-open water and broader streets give you a different side of Amsterdam from the denser canal-centre stays
Breman Brasserie and Barbue on site, giving the hotel a proper food-and-drink identity and making the ground floor feel lively rather than purely functional
Free bikes for guests, which makes it easy to treat the hotel as a base and reach the centre at a more local pace
Rooms with quirks that come from the building itself, including mezzanines, tower views, oversized group rooms, and layouts that do not feel standardised

Amsterdam
Amsterdam stretches out from its historic canal ring into quieter eastern districts, where former docklands and warehouses have been gradually reworked into residential streets and creative spaces. In the Eastern Docklands, wide waters, modern architecture, and converted buildings give the area a more open, less crowded feel than the centre. The Hoxton Lloyd Amsterdam is set in a former shipping building here, placing you right within this evolving part of the city by the IJ.
