Olof's, a unique venue at the heart of Amsterdam

Olof’s is based in the Sint Olofskapel (Saint Olof’s Chapel), which dates from the 15th century, making it the oldest chapel in Amsterdam, and is part of the hotel NH Collection Amsterdam Barbizon Palace. It is a unique venue, partly in view of its excellent position at the bustling heart of Amsterdam’s historic city centre, just a stone’s throw from the Central Station. With 463 m2 of stylish space, it offers all kinds of opportunities. We have plenty of ideas of our own, but it’s your ideas that really interest us.

An inspiring venue is a good start, but it would not be complete without a fine dining experience. We have put our minds to that too.
