Capture the charm of the 17th and 18th century as you enjoy your stay. Before becoming the Singel Hotel, our three single gabled houses were merchants houses.

At the time that Amsterdam was Europe's wealthiest trading city, the impact of trade has determined and shaped the cityscape.
A unique and well preserved city centre, where every house is a monument.
