Vault Bar

Polished and quietly intimate, this former bank vault keeps its original lockers behind the bar for a sense of history that feels real, not staged. Set on the garden level of the Waldorf Astoria Amsterdam, a Hilton hotel on the Herengracht canal, it’s an easy choice when you want a hotel bar with character. Cocktails lean modern and ingredient driven, backed by rare spirits, fine wine, and a short list of small bites. Service is unhurried and precise, making it a good stop before dinner or late in the evening.
