Small venues in a big city: 4 hidden meeting spaces in Amsterdam

If you often book meeting venues, then you are probably familiar with the great meeting venues in our capital city; Aristo Amsterdam, Amsterdam Art Center and BCN Arena are some of our popular venues. They are rightly popular. They offer quick service, are professional and can handle a lot. But they are also often fully booked. And sometimes a meeting requires a unique, small-scale venue. That's why Worldmeetings is tipping 4 unknown meeting venues in Amsterdam this month.

The Playing Circle

Looking for a spacious, cultural venue in Amsterdam? The Playing Circle offers three different venues in Amsterdam, where the unusualness of the surroundings is important. They offer a old workshop, a city theatre and a former concert hall. These very different venues have one thing in common: a homely atmosphere where there is plenty of room for creative thinking. Literally. They are all bright, spacious and have high ceilings. The Christofori concert hall has a ceiling as high as 5 metres, and the Vaudeville as high as 8 metres. Not surprisingly, this former concert hall and theatre has been an inspiring place for musicians, artists and culture lovers for more than 40 years.

Depart from

Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum, Stedelijk Museum to creative hotspots in Amsterdam Noord. Amsterdam is an art city. That's why Worldmeetings tips Depart From, a creative concept studio and art residence in one. Here, you can meet among the art. The philosophy of this venue is therefore "Between the art". According to the founders, art and creativity are the driving force towards personal growth, collaborations and entrepreneurship. An ideal mix for an out-of-the-box meeting in Amsterdam.

Huize Frankendael

Huize Frankendael is Amsterdam's last country house. Built in the 17th century, the house was used to enjoy nature, the harvest of fruit and vegetables and friendship. Huize Frankendael is still true to this philosophy. This can be seen, for example, in the kitchen. It is closely linked to the Slow Food movement where local food and traditions are central. Not only has the thinking of the country house been preserved, the interior and construction also date back to the 18th century. The Salons overlooking the surrounding gardens and original rococo ceiling, the Garden Room, the Coach House with a rustic farmhouse look or the original Old Kitchen from the 18th century can all be booked as meeting rooms.

Room of ideas/ House of Ideas

Meeting in the centre of Amsterdam, but in a quiet place? That is possible at Room of Ideas in the Museum Quarter, or House of Ideas in Amsterdam Noord. Both locations belong to Francis, owner of creative studio Pool of Ideas. As a creative studio owner, her meeting venues are also fully equipped to encourage creativity and boost productivity. "We want everyone to walk out of Room of ideas recharged with new insights, inspiration and a notebook full of ideas". The venue has all the conveniences that larger venues also have, but on a much smaller scale. One of the best-hidden meeting rooms in Amsterdam.
