The Manor Amsterdam suits a training session for 20, a quarterly review for 50 or a product launch for up to 110 guests in its combined meeting room, with walking dinners for 120 in the restaurant. The 125-room hotel occupies a former hospital at Linnaeusstraat 89 in Amsterdam-Oost, the building known as the birthplace of Johan Cruyff, and is now part of Leonardo Hotels.
Seminars and company events
The hotel names quarterly reviews, product launches, training sessions and company celebrations as its main events. All three meeting rooms face the garden and have daylight, and all have a ceiling height of 3.5 meters. A two-day training program can use the Van Gendt Zaal and the Berns Zaal separately, then open them into one room for a plenary session. The Tuinzaal works as a breakout room or for a small board meeting.
Rooms and capacities
The Tuinzaal measures 7.2 by 5.6 meters, about 40 square meters, with a largest listed setup of 30 guests. The Van Gendt Zaal and the Berns Zaal each measure 5 by 10.4 meters, about 52 square meters, with a largest listed setup of 50 guests each. Combined, they form a room of about 110 square meters for up to 110 guests in the largest setup. The capacity chart gives the figures for each layout, from boardroom to reception, and should be checked for the setup you need. The restaurant can host walking dinners for up to 120 people.
Accommodation
The hotel has 125 rooms, enough to house the delegates of a mid-sized seminar in the same building as the meeting rooms. Group allocations are arranged with the hotel at the time of the request.
Catering
Catering is in-house. PepeNero, the hotel's Italian restaurant, serves dinner from Tuesday to Sunday and hosts walking dinners for groups. The hotel bar covers the drinks after a meeting day, and the garden adds outdoor space in good weather.
History and setting
The building was a hospital before it became a hotel, and it is known in the Netherlands as the place where Johan Cruyff was born. The meeting rooms carry the names of figures linked to the building's past. The hotel stands in Amsterdam-Oost, a residential district east of the center, close to the Oosterpark, which gives a calmer setting than the canal belt while staying within a short tram ride of it.
Getting there
The address is Linnaeusstraat 89, 1093 EK Amsterdam. Trams on Linnaeusstraat connect the hotel with Amsterdam Centraal, and Amsterdam Muiderpoort station is a short walk away, with trains toward Schiphol Airport and the rest of the country. Schiphol is about 25 minutes by train.
