Pillows Grand Boutique Hotel Maurits at the Park is a luxury hotel in Amsterdam East at Mauritskade 61, directly beside Oosterpark. The hotel occupies a restored 1908 university building and has 88 rooms and suites. Guests can choose park or canal views, dine at VanOost or Spring Cafe Brasserie, visit Fitz's Bar, and use a private urban spa. The guest-only Living remains open around the clock. Central Amsterdam is easy to reach by tram, bicycle, taxi, or a longer walk.
Some rooms are on the lower ground floor. The outlook varies with the room booked.
The Luxury Room has individually selected artwork and soft tones. Signature Pillows bedding dresses the bed, with pillows and a duvet made from pure duck down. A walk-in rain shower and bathrobes and slippers complete the bathroom facilities.
For refreshments, the room has a minibar. There is also access to the guest-only Living, where an honesty bar offers drinks and snacks throughout the day and night. This shared lounge can be used for sitting or working.
Lower-ground-floor bookings include a choice of two spa options. Guests can choose a 30-minute hydrobed massage or 60 minutes of private sauna use in the Urban Spa.
In one higher-floor bedroom arrangement, a sloping ceiling and white framing follow the line of the shuttered window. Pale wall panelling contrasts with a broad dark headboard, while a pale upholstered chair and a round table sit beside the glazing.

Oosterpark gives the hotel a greener setting than many addresses near the old canal belt. Large trees, lawns, paths, and ponds are directly outside. The Wereldmuseum Amsterdam building and Amsterdam East restaurants are also nearby. Guests can start the day with a park walk and return to a calm lobby. The location feels residential, yet the main sights remain within easy reach. This balance works well for repeat visitors and longer city stays.
The hotel building opened in 1908 as an anatomy and physiology laboratory for the University of Amsterdam. Its renovation kept tall ceilings, large windows, brickwork, and key interior details. New rooms and public spaces use warm wood, soft colors, and modern art. The result is polished but not formal. Historic scale is most visible in VanOost and the main public rooms, where the original structure provides height and light.
The hotel has 88 rooms and suites. Luxury Rooms begin around 19 square meters and may face Oosterpark or the canals. Luxury Room Superior categories measure about 21 square meters and sit in the historic part of the building. Lower Ground Floor rooms also measure about 19 square meters. They have soft daylight and direct access to the Urban Spa. The best choice depends on view, floor, and planned time in the room.
Junior Suites measure about 30 square meters and include a seating area. Pillows Suites provide roughly 35 square meters with a separate bedroom and living room. Signature Loft Suites reach about 43 square meters. They add a skylight, freestanding bath, and private sauna access. The Pillows Grand Suite is the largest option at around 70 square meters. It includes a separate living room, pantry kitchenette, and grand piano.
Connecting layouts can link two to six rooms through a private hallway. This is useful for families and small groups who want to remain close while keeping separate bedrooms. Extra-bed options depend on the suite and guest age. Pet-friendly rooms are limited. Families, groups, and guests traveling with a dog should confirm the exact plan early. Maximum room occupancy and connecting access can vary by category.
VanOost is the hotel's fine-dining restaurant. It occupies a high room with original wood details and an open kitchen. The cooking combines French structure with Japanese technique. Local and seasonal produce shapes the menu. Guests may choose a longer chef-led sequence or a shorter format, based on current service. The restaurant has its own identity and attracts diners from outside the hotel, so advance booking is recommended.
Spring Cafe Brasserie offers a more relaxed choice for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. French and Italian influences guide the menu. Its terrace opens toward Oosterpark in warm weather. The setting works for a quick meal or a slower afternoon. Fitz's Bar takes a different approach with classic style and modern cocktails. The bar draws on the mood of the 1920s and also serves small bites.
The guest-only Living is open 24 hours a day. It provides a quiet place to read, work, or have a drink from the honesty bar. This space is useful when public restaurants are busy or when guests want privacy between city plans. Room service adds another option. Together, VanOost, Spring, Fitz's Bar, and the Living give the hotel a broad dining range without making every meal feel the same.
The Urban Spa is private and requires advance booking for key facilities. Services include massages, skin care, beauty treatments, a hydromassage bed, and private sauna use. The scale is intimate rather than resort-like. This suits guests who want a focused treatment or quiet recovery after a day in Amsterdam. Some room categories include selected spa use, but exact terms should be checked with the booking.
A modern gym supports regular training. Oosterpark provides an outdoor alternative for walking or running. The hotel can arrange spa times around dining or city plans, though popular slots fill quickly. Guests should reserve treatments before arrival when possible. The combination of park access, a private sauna, massage options, and gym facilities gives the hotel a strong wellness profile for an Amsterdam city property.
Amsterdam East has become one of the city's most useful areas for food and local life. Dappermarkt, Artis Royal Zoo, the Plantage area, and Waterlooplein are within the wider district. Trams provide direct links toward the center. Bicycles offer another fast route, though visitors should be comfortable with busy local cycling rules. A taxi from Amsterdam Central Station is short when traffic is light.
Museumplein, the Anne Frank House, Jordaan, and the main canal belt require more travel than from a hotel beside Dam Square. The tradeoff is a quieter park setting and more room to pause. Guests planning several museum visits should group sights by district. Those who enjoy neighborhood restaurants and morning walks may find this location more rewarding than the busiest tourist streets.
Schiphol Airport is about 20 kilometers away. Travel time varies with traffic and rail connections. A taxi is often the simplest choice with luggage. Public transport can also work through Amsterdam Central or another city station, followed by tram or taxi. Guests with an early flight should confirm the best route the night before. The hotel team can help arrange a private transfer.
Several salons support meetings, private dining, and small events. The Park Salon is the largest, while other rooms suit board meetings or private groups. Natural light and restored details create a more personal setting than a large conference hotel. Groups can combine sessions with VanOost dining or drinks at Fitz's Bar. Private hallways with linked guest rooms can also support discreet corporate or family stays.
Pillows Maurits at the Park suits travelers seeking a luxury hotel near Oosterpark with strong dining and an intimate spa. It works for couples, food-focused trips, business guests, and repeat Amsterdam visitors. Families can use connecting rooms or selected suites. The hotel is also a good choice for guests who want a calm base outside the most crowded canal streets while keeping city access simple.
The main facts are clear. There are 88 rooms and suites in a restored 1908 building. VanOost, Spring Cafe Brasserie, Fitz's Bar, and the guest-only Living cover several moods. The Urban Spa, gym, and park support slower time between city plans. Pillows Grand Boutique Hotel Maurits at the Park combines a green Amsterdam East address with the service and facilities expected from a refined city hotel.
The restored university building retains original architectural details, giving this Amsterdam hotel a connection to its past alongside its contemporary residential interiors.
The guest-only Living provides space to read or catch up on work outside your room, adding flexibility to a longer city stay.
Spring Café Brasserie's French and Italian influences offer a relaxed alternative to fine dining, with a terrace that opens into the Oosterpark.
Mauritskade 61, 1092 AD Amsterdam, Netherlands
Yes, a limited number of dog-friendly rooms accept one dog weighing up to 6 kg for 75 EUR per day. Dogs may accompany guests in their room, the Living and Spring Cafe Brasserie, but must be leashed or carried. Service dogs are accepted with the appropriate documentation.
VanOost serves dinner from Wednesday to Saturday, with service beginning between 18:00 and 20:30. Its chef's menu is available in a vegetarian version, but the restaurant states that a fully vegan adaptation is not possible because of the menu's complexity. Opening times and menu formats can change seasonally.
VanOost is the hotel's fine-dining restaurant, led by chef Floris van Straalen and shaped by Japanese and French influences with local, seasonal ingredients. Spring Cafe Brasserie is the more relaxed all-day choice for lunch, dinner and drinks, with a large terrace that opens directly towards Oosterpark.
The Urban Spa offers massages, facial and beauty treatments, a hydrojet massage bed, a gym and a sauna that can be reserved privately for up to four people. The sauna has a relaxation area, while the hydrojet provides a warm-water massage without requiring guests to change out of their clothing.
Yes. Although the hotel does not label a category as a family suite, two to six rooms can be linked through a private, closable hallway, subject to availability. Selected suites may also accept an extra bed, while the standard maximum occupancy for an individual room is two adults.
