Sleeping in a Church in Amsterdam

Unique Hotel Experiences by BUNK Hotels

Sleeping in a church is a unique experience, something that should be on everyone’s bucketlist. And now for all you wanderlust adventurers out there, there is BUNK Hotels, the experience based hotel company from the Netherlands.

BUNK has converted an old church in Amsterdam, into an innovative hotel concept. We have created a new funky hotpot in this city with trendy interior design, unsual rooms and pods and a cool vibe.

And the new place to be in Amsterdam …

DID YOU KNOW...

BUNK Amsterdam has a secret vault where really anything can happen? Or that we’re starting up an artist-in-residence programme? And that we’re creating our own online radio station?

Did you know we brew our own beer, vodka, jenever (pronounced: yeah-never), and gin? That one of our staircases leads to an over-the-top library where you can play tunes from our vinyl collection?

Now you know, and you also know that no day at BUNK is ever the same…

EAT & DRINK

We believe that food and drinks taste better when shared, while chatting with fellow travellers or our neighbour from next door. That’s why you’ll find only communal tables in our restaurant and only affordable prices on our menu.

Come to BUNK for a healthy breakfast, a heart hangover cure and anything in between. Carnivore, pescatarian, vegetarian? We’ve got something for everyone. Our meals are locally inspired, our ingredients locally sourced and our vibes locally appreciated.

A LONG HISTORY, SHORT

Our Amsterdam home is in a monumental church that we have re-designed to meet the standards of today’s travellers and engaged locals. It has its own history, dating back over a century. For now, we’ll give you the short version.

The Roman-Catholic St. Rita church was built in 1921. As Anne Frank described in her diary, the church was bombed by Allied forces in 1943. After the war, it was rebuilt with a bigger tower and longer hall, but eventually lost its religious function. Since 1972, it served as offices for Universal Studios and a local branch of the municipal library.

BUNK honours the church’s history by having erected an open-air monument to commemorate the bombing and rebuilt a library that welcomes guests from near and far.
