A night at The Hoxton | Amsterdam

The Hoxton invited us to come over to their brand new hotel in Amsterdam and stay the night. The hotel is located at the Herengracht, in a couple of beautiful canal house buildings. The design of the interior was done by the amazing Nicemakers. We love how it turned out; luxurious materials, a wonderful colour palette, modern classics and so many great details!

We visited the Hoxton in London a couple of times and loved it, so we were happy when we heard they were coming to Amsterdam! What we really like about hotels like The Hoxton is that they do not only serve as a hotel for guests but as a hotspot for locals in the city as well! A cool place to go for a drink or a bite, to meet friends and get inspired by the fantastic ambiance. 

Join us on a little tour?

The Hoxton nodigde ons uit om een kijkje te komen nemen en een nacht door te brengen in hun splinternieuwe hotel in Amsterdam die volgende week wordt geopend. Het hotel is gelegen aan de Herengracht, in een vijftal statige grachtenpanden. Het interieur is ontworpen door Nicemakers, dezelfde designers achter o.a. de Sla restaurants in Amsterdam. Het resultaat mag er zijn; luxueuze materialen, een prachtig kleurenpalet, moderne klassiekers en heel veel mooie details!

We hebben al een paar keer bij The Hoxton in Londen gelogeerd en waren dan ook blij verrast toen we een tijd geleden hoorden dat ze nu ook in Amsterdam een hotel zouden openen! Wat we zelf erg leuk vinden aan hotels als The Hoxton is dat ze zich niet alleen richten op de veelal buitenlandse toeristen maar ook een hotspot worden voor locals in de stad! Een hippe plek om naar toe te gaan voor een hapje of drankje, om af te spreken met vrienden en je te laten inspireren door de fantastische ambiance...

Canon x On a hazy morning | City Guide Amsterdam

Together with Canon we’ve worked on a city guide of Amsterdam, to show some of our favourite spots and inspire you to photograph these places from a different perspective. It’s an interesting mix of old and modern architecture, some typical Dutch ‘flavours’, a green oase in the middle of the city and some bold coloured urban streets. 

Yesterday we went on a boat trip through the city, to visit three of these spots with a great group of bloggers. They were able to test a couple of newly introduced cameras, including the EOS M3. During the trip we were there to help them with the cameras and provide them with some tips to improve their photography. It was an inspiring and sunny afternoon!

Besides the Amsterdam city guide there are also city guides (made in collaboration with some awesome artists!) of London, Paris, Madrid, Berlin and Milan.

Please check out the Canon Come And See website to find all guides!

Stooker Roasting Company | Amsterdam

A morning at Stooker Roasting Company

Check out the Q&A we did with Onno and Florian after the images!

Coffee lovers in Amsterdam are getting all excited for the latest addition to the city's coffee scene: Stooker Roasting Company! Our friends Onno and Florian will officially open their awesome new space in the East of Amsterdam on Saturday, March 21. They will not be a coffee bar like other places, but you can visit the roastery on Saturdays to participate in cuppings, taste different coffees, learn more about brewing methods and they're happy to help you to find the coffee you love and how to make a good cup at home. Onno and Florian are both well trained, SCAE certified, professionals and have loads of experience. They will also organise workshops for coffee professionals and home baristas and deliver beans for restaurants and coffee bars.
Many good reasons to visit them soon or find more information on the Stooker website!

This week we're taking over the Instagram account of @stookercoffee , so if you like you can pop over to their account and follow along... Enjoy!

To get to know Onno and Florian a little bit better we've asked them some coffee related questions.

Florian: 
Can you tell us what's your very favourite coffee bean? 
Florian: I was really surprised about the fruitiness of a couple Bolivian I’ve tried last year. Loved the thick, gloopyness of ‘m. 

Imagine: It's a quiet Sunday morning, what's your preferred brewing method when you have all the time in the world?Florian: Let’s say it’s a sunny Sunday morning, I’d prefer a nice overnight coldbrew of an unwashed Ethiopia in that case! 

Which coffeebar, near or far, is high on your list of places to visit? 
Florian: Lomi in Paris is always on my list, love that spot. One I’m really curious about and would like to visit in the future is PULP in Malaysia. 

Onno: 
Can you tell us what's your very favourite coffee bean? 
Onno: Clean, Tea-like Yirgacheffe, packed with Bergamot and Jasmin     

Imagine: It's a quiet Sunday morning, what's your preferred brewing method when you have all the time in the world?Onno: I would go for an Espro Press, nice body, long-lasting. 

Which coffeebar, near or far, is high on your list of places to visit? 
Onno: Caffenation Amsterdam, such a shame I haven’t bean there jet.. Sorry Bert! ;-S 


We hope to meet you at Stooker on a Saturday soon!
