The Tulip Treats package is part of the hotel’s Tulips in Bloom collection. Guests begin with an audio tour of the Tulip Museum, where exhibits explore the flower’s historical role as a symbol of wealth and prestige. The museum’s expanded show garden now features four million tulips arranged in precise patterns, creating a stunning backdrop for photographs. Visitors can relax outdoors with tea and tulip-shaped cakes set among the blooms.
The Tulip Treasures package builds on the museum experience with a guided tour led by a professional grower, offering behind-the-scenes insight into cultivation and tulip varieties. After the tour, guests are escorted back to the hotel for a two-course lunch or dinner at Grand Café Krasnapolsky, which offers views over Dam Square and a classic Amsterdam dining atmosphere.

For romantics and nature lovers, the Tulip Tableaux package offers an elevated, intimate experience. It includes a limousine transfer, a guided museum tour and a luxury picnic in a private tulip field. The picnic menu highlights Dutch flavors and refined preparations: Old Dutch cheese sandwiches featuring nutty Beemster and homemade apple syrup; a light lobster salad with artichoke and grapefruit; blini with Dutch caviar and crème fraîche; and a tulip-inspired dessert that echoes the season’s floral theme.
Each offer includes a gift bag from Bloomeffects, a high-performance skincare brand that sources tulips from a local farm. Guests also receive Anantara tulip bulbs to take home and plant, extending the season’s memories into their own gardens.
Whether you prefer a relaxed garden visit, an informative behind-the-scenes tour or a private picnic among the flowers, these curated packages provide a distinctive way to experience Amsterdam’s tulip season while staying at a landmark hotel in the heart of the city.
