Culinary indulgence during the holidays at Anantara Grand Hotel Krasnapolsky 

The 2025 Christmas and New Year programme 

As the days grow shorter and twinkling lights illuminate Amsterdam's canals and streets, the Anantara Grand Hotel Krasnapolsky on Dam Square transforms into a true winter décor. From 1 November to 4 January, the iconic hotel will fully immerse itself in Christmas atmospheres with a sparkling Christmas programme full of culinary and festive highlights. Guests can look forward to sophisticated Christmas dinners and brunches at Michelin-starred restaurant The White Room, atmospheric Afternoon Teas at Grand Café Krasnapolsky, festive cocktails at The Tailor Bar and enchanting moments in the historic Winter Garden. The 2025 Christmas programme promises a month full of magical moments and nights to remember - right in the heart of the capital. A special highlight this year is the new direct entrance from Dam Square to the Grand Café Krasnapolsky, which will open from December. This will allow lunch guests to step straight in from the square and enjoy the elegant ambience, without having to go through the hotel entrance.
