Hotel Die Port van Cleve is ideally located in the city center of Amsterdam, right behind the Nieuwe Kerk on Dam Square and next to Magna Plaza. Many extraordinary sites that the city has to offer are within walking distance.

Preserving our Façade
Our façade has witnessed more than 150 years of Amsterdam history. From the grand structure built in front of it for a royal celebration in 1874 to becoming one of the first bars to feature electric lighting, our building has always had a story to tell.
To keep that history shining for generations to come, our iconic façade will receive some well-deserved care during September and October 2026. Scaffolding will be in place in front of the hotel, while every effort is made to minimise any inconvenience. Die Port van Cleve, Bouillon d'Amsterdam and De Blauwe Parade will remain fully accessible throughout.
