Rosewood Amsterdam
Rosewood Amsterdam occupies the neoclassical former Palace of Justice on Prinsengracht, a building that began life in 1663 as a city orphanage before a 19th-century renovation turned it into the seat of Dutch criminal justice — the courtroom where Cor van Hout, mastermind of the 1983 Heineken kidnapping, once stood trial. Vacated by the judiciary in 2013 and left empty for a decade, the building reopened in 2025 as a 41-suite Rosewood hotel after a painstaking restoration by Studio Piet Boon, with the original coat of arms and Latin inscriptions still carved into the facade above the entrance. Inside, the courthouse's grand proportions now hold Eeuwen restaurant, the jenever bar and distillery Advocatuur — a nod to the building's legal past — and Asaya Spa with a rooftop pool overlooking the canal belt. Guests are typically international leisure travelers on a milestone trip, design and architecture enthusiasts drawn to the building's history, and a smaller share of executives combining a stay with meetings in the city center. The hotel's canal-belt address near Leidseplein puts the Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum and Vondelpark all within a short walk, which is why most guests spend full days on foot and treat the airport transfer as the one fixed logistical point of the stay. Schiphol sits 17 kilometres south-west, roughly 25 minutes by car via the A10 ring and A4 outside peak hours. AmstelCab's Business, First and Van class vehicles include a suited chauffeur, meet-and-greet at the door, 60 minutes of complimentary wait time, bottled water and phone chargers, with the fare fixed before the car ever moves.
Your AmstelCab chauffeur will park at the canalside entrance of Rosewood Amsterdam on Prinsengracht, beneath the building's carved neoclassical facade, where the hotel's door team manages arrivals. Because Prinsengracht is a narrow one-way canal street at this point, the car cannot idle for long, so timing is coordinated with the concierge desk ahead of pickup. Luggage is loaded curbside while the door team holds the entrance. Your chauffeur will text 10 minutes before arrival and confirm the pickup point.

For arrivals at Schiphol: add your flight number when booking and we'll track your landing automatically. Your chauffeur is in the arrivals hall with a name sign, ready for you. US-bound carriers (Delta, United, American) often face long passport-control queues; we recommend adding 40 minutes buffer time so your chauffeur waits exactly when you exit.
The neighborhood around the hotel
Prinsengracht at this stretch sits where the canal belt meets Leidseplein, Amsterdam's liveliest square for theatres, bars and late-night food, a few minutes' walk from the hotel entrance. The Nine Streets shopping district and the Golden Bend of Herengracht are both within ten minutes on foot, and the Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum and Vondelpark form a cluster just beyond Leidseplein, easily reached without a car. Trams 1, 2, 7, 11 and 12 all stop at Leidseplein, though most Rosewood guests move between the museums and canal belt on foot. For airport runs, the constraint is the narrow one-way canal street directly in front of the hotel: a chauffeur routes outbound trips via Marnixstraat to the Stadhouderskade and onto the A10 south, avoiding the tightest canal turns with luggage loaded, before picking up the A4 to Schiphol.
Frequently asked questions
Does Rosewood Amsterdam have a dedicated taxi drop-off zone?
Rosewood Amsterdam's entrance sits directly on the Prinsengracht canal, so there is no separate drop-off lane — vehicles pull up curbside in front of the historic facade, where the hotel's door team assists with luggage. Because the canal street is narrow and one-way, space fits one car at a time, so your AmstelCab chauffeur coordinates timing with the concierge to keep the street clear for other arrivals.
How early should I leave Rosewood Amsterdam for an international flight from Schiphol?
For long-haul departures we recommend leaving Rosewood Amsterdam three hours before scheduled take-off. The drive itself is roughly 25 minutes via the A10 and A4, but morning peak traffic between 07:00 and 09:30 can add 15 to 25 minutes. For Schengen flights, two and a half hours is comfortable with a Business-class transfer. Your chauffeur monitors live traffic and adjusts the pickup time if needed.
Can my AmstelCab driver wait if I'm finishing coffee at The Court?
Yes. Every AmstelCab airport transfer from Rosewood Amsterdam includes 60 minutes of complimentary wait time from the booked pickup. If you're still at The Court or finishing a last espresso, message your chauffeur through the booking link — they will hold nearby and return to the canalside entrance the moment you're ready with luggage.
How does the meet & greet work for arrivals?
Your chauffeur waits in the arrivals hall at Schiphol with a sign showing your name. There's 60 minutes of complimentary waiting time from the moment you land. If you add your flight number we track delays automatically, so there is no need to message.
What is your cancellation policy?
Free cancellation up to 1 hour before pickup. Inside that window, we charge the full fare since the chauffeur is already en route. You can move the booking to a different time for free.
Which vehicle types are available?
Business Class (Mercedes EQE, E-Class, BMW i5, 5-Series), Van Class (Mercedes V-Class, EQV), First Class (Mercedes EQS, S-Class, BMW i7) and Ultra (Mercedes-Maybach S-Class). Ultra has a fixed price between Amsterdam and Schiphol; other Maybach rides are arranged via WhatsApp.
