Lloyd Hotel
Amsterdam
The Lloyd Hotel offers Dutch design at its best, thanks to the more than fifty designers, artists and architects who have contributed to transform this former migrant hotel into a hotel with 117 different rooms ranging from 1 star to 5 stars.
It is located in the trendy Eastern Docklands area, one of the fastest cultural developing areas of Amsterdam.
Every Monday night is 'Lloyd Time' - public events of an impromptu nature - drawing inspiration from what's going on in the hotel, on the streets of Amsterdam and in the news. There is often live music, with artists presentations, exceptional and current films, fashion, poetry or stand-up comedy.
The hotel is also home to the Cultural Embassy, and to celebrate Dutch Culture & Design, it has partnered with KLM and Droog Design to offer a 'Design Special'.
