Carmen Amsterdam: A New Chapter in Dutch Hospitality

Carmen Amsterdam reimagines Dutch hospitality with a blend of heritage and modern design. Nestled in a canal house passed down through generations, this guesthouse, restaurant, and boutique is the passion project of Carmen Atiyah de Baets and Joris ter Meulen Swijtink. The space reflects their personal journey—inspired by global travels and a love for Dutch design—and offers an intimate alternative to traditional hotels. Guests can experience thoughtful interiors, curated shopping, and Joris’s culinary creations, all in a setting where nostalgia meets contemporary charm. It’s a destination where authenticity and artistry come together seamlessly.
