Hotel MAI in Amsterdam's Chinatown is not just a hotel, it's a living tribute to the rich cultural history of this historic neighborhood. When you enter, you are immediately immersed in an enchanting world where the past blends seamlessly with the present.
Our hotel, located in a beautiful building dating back to 1609, was once a whale oil storage facility in a time when whale hunting was quite common. Today, a restored façade stone serves as a reminder of this history. In 1840, Johan Bertolo Delius started his glass trade here, and in 1904, he constructed the impressive building that now houses our hotel.
