Henry Hudson suite
Scores of details referring to the rich history of the Dutch East India Company have been incorporated intothis magnificent Amsterdam School-style building. For example, twenty-nine heads of famous explorers from the
Dutch East India Company adorn the building’s façade. In Art Deco style, the wigged heads of Bontekoe, Valentijn
and Van Spilbergen gaze sternly at passers-by... but Henry Hudson’s head is absent.
This will be more than rectified by the building’s present owner: the Grand Hotel Amrâth Amsterdam.
During his anniversary year, Henry Hudson will even be getting his own hotel suite. For this occasion, one of
the luxurious ‘bow’ suites will be completely furnished with objects from the seventeenth century:
the Henry Hudson Suite.
