De Bazel, the source of our inspiration

De Bazel, located on Vijzelstraat in Amsterdam is certainly one of the city’s most characteristic buildings. With an especially striking exterior, its interior also features unrivalled architectural beauty. The Amsterdam Municipal Archives (Stadsarchief) is proudly among the parties housed today in this monumental building that dates back to the 1920s. The conference centre includes eight halls, once the chic meeting and working areas for the management boards of the illustrious Netherlands Trading Society (Nederlandsche Handel-Maatschappij or NHM), the ABN AMRO bank’s legal predecessor. The Dutch architect Karel de Bazel also designed the building’s imposing interior: beautiful parquet floors with inlays, stylish stucco ceilings with chandeliers, attractive fireplaces, eye-catching stained glass windows and Art Deco fittings, fixtures and furniture. All of these elements contribute towards an inspiring experience and successful event. You offer your team and/or guests an especially pleasurable experience in completely different settings. The grandeur of yesteryear, with all the mod cons of today’s world!
