Where our Centrum chapters sit
Centrum is the historic centre of Amsterdam. It is defined by the Grachtengordel (the UNESCO-listed canal belt of Herengracht, Keizersgracht and Prinsengracht), the Jordaan to the west, and the area around Spui, Rokin and Dam to the east. Our nine Centrum chapters sit inside this ring.
Chapters No.4, No.5, No.6 and No.8 are directly on the main canals. Chapter No.1 is in the Jordaan on the Looiersgracht. Chapter No.3 is at Westermarkt next to the Westerkerk. Chapter No.7 is on Singel. Chapter No.10 is on Sarphatistraat, at the eastern edge of the canal belt overlooking the Amstel. Chapter No.11 is on Hoogte Kadijk.

Who Amsterdam Centrum is for
Centrum suits boutique law firms, creative agencies, media companies, and international scale-ups that host clients face-to-face. The area is best for companies whose clients arrive by train via Centraal, by tram across the city, or by foot from the Grachtengordel. The prestige of a canal-house address, walkable client entertainment along the Nine Streets and Leidsestraat, and proximity to Amsterdam's cultural institutions are the differentiators that make Centrum the right choice over Zuid or Noord.

We love renting with The Collection because they are always able to help with anything extra you may need, in addition to the day-to-day essentials. They offer assistance with office events, luxurious catering, moves, and technical difficulties. Furthermore, they continue to innovate and introduce new initiatives to their members, primarily focused on the health and sustainability of the members.
The central location distinguishes us from 'magic circle' firms on the outskirts of Amsterdam.
Our experience with the Collection has been nothing short of remarkable. Each of the 12 buildings radiates luxury, and at every one, we are received with a warm welcome. Something we, as an onboarding company, find incredibly important. The facilities are top-notch, offering everything from gyms to bicycles, making our daily interactions productive and enjoyable.
When clients enter our office space, they’re astonished because nobody expects something like what we have here, in the heart of the city. An office in the heart of the city was always my dream. It’s really important for employee branding to have a nice office space where people feel at home. The Collection could provide us with this, with the location and all the amenities that come with the membership.
The Collection feels like home to us. The beautiful design, the friendly hosts, the history of the building, the open spaces to collaborate and the wonderful amenities really add to our team member experience. We love it here!
In the heart of the city, The Collection offers the most beautiful and unique office spaces alongside an exclusive membership concept. Vinted is very lucky to work in a beautifully located historic Amsterdam canal building. Beyond that, The Collection app makes it easy for us to access meeting rooms, gyms, and other facilities just a short cycle away from our office!
We have enjoyed using other Collection locations for our office events, including the magical gardens and lobbies. The team is always friendly and responds to questions with thoughtfulness and care. We feel extremely fortunate to offer this experience to our employees!
