About Hotel Arena
Hotel Arena is a monumental four-star superior design hotel, located in Oosterpark in Amsterdam. The historic building, dating back to 1888, has served various purposes over the years—from a Roman Catholic girls’ orphanage to a sleep-in—and has evolved into a contemporary hotel where history and modern design come together.
The hotel features 141 renovated rooms, a restaurant with 130 seats, and a spacious terrace (approximately 150 seats in summer), five creative meeting and event studios, the Salon, and the iconic Chapel with a capacity of up to 1,000 guests.
Hotel Arena positions itself as a cultural meeting place where hospitality, art, design, and events converge. Under one roof, hotel guests, business relations, and visitors come together for overnight stays, dining, meetings, exhibitions, concerts, and large-scale events.
