Sir Albert Hotel

Architecture Alon Baranowitz & Irene Kronenberg

Set behind the redbrick façade of an old diamond factory, the hotel's open spaces evoke 19th-century splendor.

This monumental building, once a diamond factory, now projects the luster of a high-quality gem. But this jewel has a manifold effect on the beholder—it feels elusive to the outsider but connects the guest with the vibrant surrounding environment. On the ground floor The Study and Izakaya Asian Kitchen & Bar are independent spaces, but united with the world outside.

Interior design Alon Baranowitz & Irene Kronenberg

Full of furnishings from the likes of Maxalto, Moroso, and Ceccotti, the interiors are both cool and warmly inviting.

A welcoming but hard-to-achieve look brings to mind a world traveler who has found rare gems on his journeys and assembled them together over many years. The residence includes pieces from Italian manufacturers, like Maxalto, Moroso, Ceccotti, and limited edition works from assorted standout Dutch designers, such as Piet Hein Eek and Joy van Erven.
