The canals, the bicycles, the tulips, the paintings of Van Gogh and Rembrandt, its contemporary architecture ... Amsterdam is undoubtedly one of the most eclectic and most charming cities in Europe. Who would not enjoy a few days in an apartment there?

That is exactly the same thought that Eric Vökel had, a lover of architecture and design and a regular collaborator of the major Nordic design studios. His ceaseless desire to create magical places in the most iconic cities in the world has led to his latest project: Eric Vökel Amsterdam Suites, some exclusive apartments in the heart of the Dutch city.

Located on a quiet street near the Central Station and only a few meters away from the town center, it is a new building with designer apartments with 1 to 3 rooms, with views over the IJ River and the city center. Just a short walk away from the iconic canals, a wide restaurant area and a variety of small charming shops, these apartments are a unique opportunity to visit this beautiful city feeling like at home. What more could you ask for?

eric-vokel-amsterdam-suites-1Following the philosophy of its founder (with apartments in Barcelona, Madrid, Amsterdam and soon in Hamburg and New York), Eric Vökel Amsterdam Suites combines the practicality of Nordic design with the Mediterranean soul. All of them have been designed with great care, always searching for the home feel, and providing them with the ultimate elements of comfort and eco-efficiency.

THE ESSENCE OF AMSTERDAM, NORDIC DESIGN AND A MEDITERRANEAN SOUL

Light and comfort create the spaces of all of Eric's apartments. He has designed different types of apartments so that guests can always find the one that best suits their needs: from a spectacular and bright penthouse with views over the River IJ, functional apartments of one room with double bed and bathroom, to spacious and comfortable apartments of two or more bedrooms and two bathrooms also overlooking the river, all of them with surfaces ranging from 40m2 to 75m2.

The minimalist lines of Nordic design prevail in all apartments. They stand out for their simplicity and practicality, although there is also room for singularity and spontaneity.

In general, there is predominant use of wood, chosen for its excellent features, glass, and white as the basic color, which, besides instilling a feeling of order and purity, generates warmth when combined with sandy shades. All of this makes the apartments spaces that are full of light and warmth. Nothing is excessive and nothing is missing.

One prominent feature is the creativity that is present in subtle touches. In the bedrooms, furnished with exceptionally comfortable beds, the headboards have been designed using hydraulic mosaic, in homage and reference to one of the materials commonly found in the sumptuous homes of Barcelona.

ERIC VÖKEL AND THE ART

The opportunities Eric Vökel Boutique Apartments provides to local artists must also be noted. Various emerging artists, photographers, and painters captured the best images of each city in order to then paint them by hand, creating large murals that decorate the living room in each apartment. We thus have compositions that are unique, decorative, and full of charm.

PERSONAL SERVICE AND ATTENTION TO DETAIL

The apartments are intended for couples and families and groups of friends. All the details have been thought to enhance the comfort and practicality that guests are looking for when then come to a city.

The full furnishings are exclusive designs, made for and adapted to the specific spaces. The kitchens are fully equipped with designer kitchenware, including utensils, glasses, pans, small appliances, a dishwasher, washing machine, dryer, stove, freezer, and brand new cleaning kits; there are also full bathrooms with towels and soap, WiFi Internet, big screen LCD TVs with international satellite channels, air conditioning, and strongboxes.
